Yes, the '83 had the same crappy seats as the 4 years prior. Very
uncomfortable. They were offered in 84 too but you could get a GL version
with nice seats for the regular van which had armrests (and better seats)
and the camper was available in the Wolfsburg edition. I was lucky enough to
get an '84 Wolfsburg interior for my '83 from Chris at JordanView. (pictures
at http://www.feddishbasses.com/VW/ ). Chris can better explain but I
believe in '85 they stopped making those uncomfortable seats and started
offering the nicer interior for all the vans.

Subject: "83 Westy Seat Arm Rest Question

Was looking at pictures of an '83 Westy interior and noticed the front seats
had only one arm rest each on the inside, none on the outside.  The door
panels then had armrests bolted to the panels.  Every Vanagon seat I have
seen has had two armrests.  ( I think)

Is this common on '83's?  If so, when did that change to two armrests?  The
interior looked original, with cool kind of light blue and brown striping
those those buses had.
