Bill, Sounds like Karl and I have the same plywood floor with tracks built flush into them, and you do not. Bummer. Odd, since your van is an '87, which falls between Karl's '85 and my '88. Maybe they were only put in if you bought the optional chair, and Karl and my POs, lost/sold/threw away the chairs. Someone (check the archives) posted a photo of the tracks you require within the last couple of months. I remember looking at it, to see if I could mount one of those chairs. I just haven't found a chair that anyone wants to part with here in Canada. I thought all Westys have these tracks. (They are great at collecting dirt...) As usual, someone will have the answer.
