I could not find Honda van seats. Grabbed a pair from a Mazda mini-van (middle seats). Installed by using perforated steel angle from big block store. Used both the Mazda and the GMC front seat sliders. Lots of leg room, more than I need.
Nice alternative. Probable investment of $100, including having the seats commercially cleaned.

Looks good. You should enjoy having a modern adjustable seat. I used Oldsmobile second row seats.

Those look good. Do you remember which year the van was?

Looks good - pretty much exactly what we are looking for. I also found that the middle seats from a Ford Windstar looked OK, as well.
Unfortunately - all we've found so far is grey, not tan!
