Yes, toss them in the trash (but recycle the metal) and buy yourself a
newer set ('85 on) of captain's chairs from one of the list vendors or
a junk yard.  You don't say what year your bus is, but I'll bet it is
'84 or earlier.  Those seats were junk, a holdover from the type II.  I
scrapped mine about six years ago and replaced them with a nice set from
an '85.  Much more comfortable and sturdier seats, and much more foam
padding.
