I need them, but don't know how to get them from the LA (Los Angeles) area to the UA (Upper Alabama) area.

I see your sig states: "'73 23' CanyonLands"
I tried to fit some of the "newer" ('75 & up) rear seating into my '73. The area is just to small. (The seats are longer/wider... just an inch or so.) They will not fit in my '73 ex-Painted D.
I do have a thought of cutting both "sides" and welding the parts together to make a couch. I like the design better than the OEM "bunk bed" couch.

If I can't find a rear dinette, I will need to build one from scratch. Modifying one may or may not be easier than that, but I won't know until I try. Longer is what I need, and I can fix "too wide". Anyway, if I can just get the cushions, I would be better off than I am now.

You do understand the "newer" ones are flex-steel steel framed units? They will not fit between the rear of the closet/bath module and the rear of the coach, without modifications. (At least on my '73)
The early ones are foam cushions with a wood framed backs (with foam) that are on these funky flip-over brackets. (These brackets are NOT finger friendly.) Unless someone has a really good set of cushions and backs, It would be far cheaper to have the brackets shipped by themselves and recreate the rest of the seats from new material. (IMHO)

Yes.
Thanks for offering them to the group.
If it was closer I would pick them up just to keep them out of the trash.
I am NOT willing to pay anything.... I already have a full set of "plaid parts" stored in my 1973. (Wall panels, front seats and all.) There is a reason that I KNOW that they will not fit, unmodified, in an early coach.... I tried them.
I am still wondering if I am going to put the "plaid parts" to use.... I might use them in my '77. Anyone ever seen a 23 foot Palm Beach?
