Folks, I came upon a person in the area with a stash of Honda Odyssey Middle Row seats. I bought this set for $100 from one seller, and another person here has a garage full of them. They take them out when they do wheelchair access conversions. They sell for $150 a pair and $150 for the middle thing which is also a center console. They have beige and grey. These are new and really nice. They are leather and smell nice too. I am putting them in my coach and possibly a set or two in my pickup. All I have to do is remove the latch bases and install some unistrut cross braces to bolt to the GMC swivel base.

I can't tell by the photo, do these seats have built in seatbelts? I have been looking at seats on LKQ's ebay store for a long while trying to get something on the west coast.

No. I really wanted those, but they are harder to come by, and never new. These are brand spankin new. They have a slot in the seat for the seatbelt clip, however, that the GMC belts will fit. I will be mounting my shoulder belts on the wall like someone else (Arch perhaps?) did.
I also don't like the look of the seats with the integral seatbelts as much. These are very comfortable.

Folks. there has been some interest in Private messaging on these seats. I may be able to get a good group buy price. I have so far two people wanting three pairs, plus I may buy two more pairs for my truck. There are quite a few available. I'll get better photos posted. I think we can get these for as little as $100 per pair if we buy enough.(fingers crossed)

Folks, Overwhelming interest in these. The guy that has them has a house full of them so no need to worry. There should be enough to go around for all.
I will compile the list I get this week and submit the numbers to the owner. I'm shooting for $120 for a pair. Not sure how low they will go on the center thing, as they usually sell those on ebay for $450, they are apparantly $1400 at the dealer and are an option. I got my initial set from a different person who bought them from the guy who has a house full.
I may be able to get him to go lower, as we may be buying all of them. I may buy some on spec as we seem to be the market for them.
This week, I will mount them in my coach to answer some of the questions I have been getting regarding the width/engine hatch clearance.
They do have to be modified, but I am taking photos and will be posting the steps in the photo site. I'ts basically removing the quick release bases for the van and bolting on two strips of unistrut and a couple of standoffs to get them to match up. I am trying to get it all to fit within the plastic shrouds so that they hide all the unistrut.
I have to deal with where to store them all when I get them, or maybe I can get the owner to drop ship to you all who want them shipped.
I know of a warehouse in Mesa that may have room (wink wink nudge nudge)

""Folks, Overwhelming interest in these. The guy that has them has a house full of them so no need to worry. There should be enough to go around for all.""
Before I accepted a job at U-Haul, I interviewed with VMI--the van conversion company here in Phoenix. They threw all of the removed seats (Honda and Chrysler) in the dumpster. They had no interest in selling them, so I was always interested in how they wind back up in the market. They also sell these at the flea market @ Washington and 40 th st.

OK, I just test fit the drivers seat. It clears the hatch completely. The seat position is a bit higher, but that can be dealt with by using a plate in lieu of unistrut. I'm short, 5'6" and It was comfortable for me and I could mash the go pedal all the way to the floor.
The seats retain the full front-back and recline functions.
Very comfortable.
The plastic skirts may need trimming to clear the base when swiveling, and I had to bend the swivel lever nearly flat to clear the seat base without the skirts, so may need to carve a slot or leave the wall side skirt off. soft skirts will do here as well.
I know you all want photos. I have my camera full, but the cable is missing and my laptop is in my office, so i will have to upload them tomorrow.
