The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Panels 'N Burbs Burb seats - What's out there?

Hi all,
As a new addition to this group I'm probably going to cover old ground again; but my search results didn't seem to deal directly with the problem.
Since rear seats seem to be pretty near unavailable has anyone tried to modify something similar such as a school bus seat for use in the back? Burb seats really are sort of a cross between restaurant seating and lawn furniture. Jeep wagon seats or VW bus seats are similar but just as rare I'm sure. Wise Guys seats have one that looks promising but more money than I would like to spend for something that requires quite a bit of rework.
I really would prefer the original look and I would like ones that are readily removable; but most of you have been at this a lot longer than I have. Are there options? John

I see the third row seat from time to time. The middle seat, I hardly ever see. The middle seat is narrower for access to the third row. The third row moves up to second row when that's all it had.

The front seat I hardly ever see either, but I have seen them.

When any of them come up, they go fast. People wanting pictures or asking questions will never get them.

I don't know why someone does not repop them. They are fairly simple in design as far as tubing goes. The mounts would be harder to repop. I heard once of a place/shop that would make them, but was never able to find it again.

If you run across a pile of them, let me know.

Been discussed before. contact elhippie64 to see if there are any available. Put an ad in the parts wanted in the swap meet section

Do what GMONIZ said,elhippie64 makes them,they are really nice.

Please do not try to sell a part in this forum. Please use email or a Private Message to make a one-off sale. Or, please place a Part Wanted or Part for Sale ad in the Swap Meet.

I have had to delete two posts in this thread in the past two weeks.

For those of you who do not know the rule or why there is this rule: a private sale is only of interest to the two people involved. This forum (and all non Swap Meet fora) have this rule. The posts in this forum stay around for a long time. Information about a one-off private sale is of no use to future readers.

Theres a guy in Phoenix Az. that makes the frames only that are covered with foam pads instead of the original spring cushions. His name is Mark Turrell and his phone no. is 602-315-2551
He makes all three seat frames. The middle seat runs about $500. and the rear seat about $650. Give him a call. I hear he does nice work. Haven't used him yet, but plan to buy a middle seat from him in the near future.
