take the hump out of the floor. down to the bench seat mounts and use Jap import coupe seats . Then convert your front end to rack , then you can drop your colum abit for more comfortable drivimg posie(use FX-FJ colum mounts) .These are the mods done to my Van-ute and it works atreat

How 'bout some old VW Beetle seats, I've sean 'em used before and they look quite period (like the old tuck 'n' roll style) and they flip forward also. Can get them pretty cheap also (added bonus)
Cheers,

Is that with stock floor pans?

Finally
work starts this week!
The pics you've seen so far of the van, show it from its best angle.
These next pics, show the extent of the problem with the roof.
Well, I've hooked up with a friend of a friend, who's a Hot Rodder
and has done several chops before.
He's going to work with me, to get this roof finished
I have aquired a second van (windowless) to cut out the sections
we need to restore the roof.
Work is starting this week, so I will show the progress as we go along.
The aim is for it to be a Chopped Windowless Van

i tried to buy the other van before i bought the one i have now
it seems a shame to cut up what seems to be a good van
can't you find a worse one
especially as though you have the time there was some sad vans at that graveyard place
