I'm looking to buy the rear seats that fold down to make a bed. PO made the area a permanent bed, which I would like to change. Any condition that can be repaired and re-upholstered.

Unfortunately, pick-up only in Las Vegas. Thanks anyway.

David,
I have a set near Detroit, MI. They aren't in great shape, but they are free if we can figure out how to get them to you. They are out of my Kingsley, so original Orange plush fabric, that isn't in too bad of shape for being 37 years old. The driver's side one is good from a frame perspective. The passenger side one must have been near a long-term water leak as the back lower part of the frame is pretty rusty, although it could be reinforced/fixable if you wanted to work that hard. Not sure how much of a hurry you are in. I plan on going to the fall GMCMI rally in Wisconsin. I'm pretty sure I'll go to the Great Lakers rally in Goshen or Elkhart or wherever in mid-June, need to straighten out my calendar over the next few days. But, currently not planning on heading south anytime soon. The seats are pretty heavy, so shipping is probably not a good option. I'm guessing somewhere around 75 lbs. apiece. I could send you some pictures if you want.

We will be at the Creation Museum in Cincy area this Thursday morning if you can meet us to take possession.

Craig and Rick, sure wish I had known of these before I worked out a deal with the guy in Las Vegas. Shipping is murderous!

Should have been more patient . . . but thanks anyway.

Dave - Patience is something you will learn with GMC's. Fix the things that keep you from moving first, the things that keep you safe second, the things that make your rig livable third, and the aesthetics last. Other wise you wind up with a great looking rig that goes nowhere.

I'm still smiling at that good advise. I'm learning.

Fortunately, my recent purchase is pretty much through phase one and two, and I'm working on three, and a little on four.
