This could be a temporary solution to adding more seating

Take  a close look at the landcruser 100 series rear cargo area seats. My truck is an 8 seater, 3 seats in the cargo area, the beauty is you can pull the seats out with just a pull of a lever, also the seats are fitted with their own seatbelts, so there is no need to source that hardware. What they are worth, who knows. But the positive is that they are transport approved, so as long as you fit the floor mounts to spec an engineer should plate it with no hassels.

The seat has know form, would not like to sit on it for to long......

If i can get to my garage, bloody rain, i will get some happy snaps of the cruisers removable seats. What i have done is had some waterproof carry bags made up for my seats by my trimmer. When i pull the seats out i stick them in the carry bags, throw them on a shelf in the garage, and they stay safe and dry, ready for when i need to use them for the grandkids. I suppose the best part of these seats is, for a stock van, is you can throw the seats in to transport people, then pull them out for moving beddy parts around.

See, i kinda want a rock'n'roll style seat that flips into a bed really easy, but then if i'm honest, how often will i use it as a bed, once or twice a year? the open cargo space would be useful every other weekend, for all manner of things  and i could just keep a swag in the back...
Looking at the frame on those hi-ace seats, i might not have enough headroom in a swb

Here is an idea, if you do cruiser seats, the drivers seats are low profile, rear can be removeable at the flick of a lever, and then put an air matress in the back when the seats are folded or out.

Ok so for $170 for 2seats (seats 4) i thought this was too good to pass up.
Now according to the NCOP, the minimum required leg room is only 600mm. Great i thinks, that means two additional rows of seats will fit in front of the wheel arches. But when i go to place them, not even I, a shortish bloke, would fit in the seats, so the plan is to mount the 3rd row sorta on top of the wheel arch, and the 2nd row half way between that and the drivers seat. Will post pics soon

I scored a set of seats out of a spectron van the back one fits between the arches and tilts forward on the front seat mounts (folds up first) and the middle seat rotates 180 and they fold out together to make one BIG bed   .

ive got 2 double seats also to go in my van. they will go in the one row in front of the wheel arches and nly get used occasionally so they will be removable with the impact driver and just bolts.
i no have a double seat up front too so it will end up being a 7 seater.

cheers
