Hi there,
I was looking at your photos of the jump seats on ebay, and I was worried
about the bracket bars that the seats mount to, being switched. Unless of
course, you have the seats backwards too! Anyway, I bought a jumpseat from
someone else on the list, and he accidently gave me the bracket for the seat
behind the driver side, instead of the passenger. Makes a big differance,
it just will not work the other way! Anyway, the brackets should both have
the mounting hole close to the center of the van. I don't want this to
happen to anyone else, because it took me six months to find the correct
bracket to replace it.
By the way, having a jump seat in the camper has made a big differance! I
love it! I love that I can fold it up to get it most of it out of the way,
and when I haul hay bales, I can just yank it, without much difficulty at
all! It doesn't take up too much room, and with the plywood floor in the
camper, the mounting plates are pretty much flush with the floor.
Thanks for listening,
Julianna

Hi all
I listed a pair of the Jump seats on ebay. They are blue/grey in color and I
have included all the hardware. I wrote down the measurements and then took
pictures of the plates that are welded to the floor before I removed them
(cut the welds with cutoff wheel). If anyone needs this info let me know and
I will e-mail you the pictures.

I have a 85 poptop weekender with the tan corduroy interior. It is very worn
and I am looking to replace the front seats and rear Zbed. I have no need
for the extra middle seats.
I have two sets of seats, both or blue/grey from a 87 and 88. There are no
burns or tears, but both sets are a little dirty. The jump seats came from
one set, the other has the 2place middle seat. There are a couple arm rest
that are missing. Both sets have the rear folding bed and rear pad.
I live in Winona Minnesota (the S.E. corner of the state) . I'm willing to
drive 150 miles or so to make a trade. anyone interested?
I'm willing to end the auction early if you have the tan seats I need.
Thanks
Rob
