I don't believe the US ever got the T5 Van

T-1 = Split window 1967 and older
T-2 = Bay Window (68-79)
T-3 - Vanagon (80-89)
T-4 = Euro Van (90-2002)
T-5 = Well,....T5 (2003 and newer. not sure what they called it)

Nice looking seats though. I like the integral seat belts

Walküre - 1974 VW Thing (Toad)

Appie,
Those are nice looking seats. Should work well. Not having seen the seat in person unsure how they would fit up but it the base can be bolted to the floor then you have a possibility of have very nice seats.

Appie,

Zehr schone!

I would suggest you ask the seller how high the seat (where you stick your butt) is from the floor. These could be too high. It
would also be helpful to get some photos of the underside of the seats to see how they mount to the floor. You might be able to
remove the seat bases from the seats. The integrated over the shoulder harnesses are nice but you'll have to see how they attach to
the seat base and if they can be adapted to a GMC. Remove your wheel wells and look at the aluminum frame under the floor. You might
just have to get a big piece of aluminum and mount it under the floor.

Regards,
Rob M.

Hi Appie. Those are some really nice looking seats! It looks like there's storage in the base, two armrests, built in lap and shoulder belts. The price is _killing_ me. If they work, and I don't see why they wouldn't, I'd snap them up in a heartbeat.

They're obviously meant to be installed on a flat floor in a van, so seat height shouldn't be a problem as you'll be installing them on a flat floor in your GMC. I'm assuming they have the usual range of adjustments - are they lever/knob operated or are they power?
