Swapping seats in an Express .. Need help .. Please

[user 25174]

Hello all, and thanks for all the helpful information found here.
I am beginning to outfit my van, and need some help with swapping out my front passenger seat .
i'd like to use one of the middle rear for space, and swivel purposes up front.
Current fronts are power everything it seems, even lumbar support, and heat.
The middle 2 are swivel, and can be lifted out using an arm/latch/post assembly (pictured).
From what I can see the rear floor/base plate(s) are not similar to the front, and will need .. ?
The far rear is an electric powered bench/bed, and will stay - for now.
I am limited to climbing under, and lifting (heavy) things due to back surgeries.
Unsure what it's gonna take to remove the front passenger seat, and then install the other.
I've attached photos of my interior (dog hair included), and a *similar van so that maybe someone that has done this kind of thing might have an idea as to what I'll need to do.

Thank you very much.

Being an Express owner, I question whether there's enough clearance between the engine cover, dash and door for a seat to swivel.

But in order to mount the swivel seat you have in the passenger compartment, you'll need someone with the ability to cut, bend, drill and weld steel, and someone in sufficient physical shape to heft everything in place.
