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?

76 Birchaven - "Wicked Mistress" - New engine, trans, alum radiator, brakes, Sully airbags, fuel lines, seats, adult beverage center... those Coachmen guys were really thinking about us second hand owners by including that beverage center... Columbia, SC.

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!
