I don't know about the seat mounts, but I do know of a panel van (under 
restoration) which has one bucket seat.  If I recall correctly, it is a '64 
PG truck.  It is pretty unique as it (the story goes) was owned by a florist 
who had a previous Corvair delivery van which suffered damage on the RR 
corner while backing into a parking space.  This van was ordered with (and 
has) one window - on the right side, rear corner.

Later, JR
