Default Swapping astro front seats into 2000 express?

I have a 2000 express with vinyl buckets. The seats are in good shape, but they don't have an armrest. I know I've seen something about swapping in astro seats, but the search came up empty. I found a set of tan 99 astro seats for $100 with fold down arm rests on both sides of the seat. But the seat belt wasn't mounted to the seat, like my express.

Or can I add armrests to the seats I have now?

Chances are real good you can bolt the new seats to your old seat bases.

There were 2 Ford vans at the u-pull-it yard sitting side by side with immaculate cloth seats. Grey colors. Too bad you're not in Omaha Nebraska.

It it wasn't a short wheelbase half ton with 30k more miles on the body, or 2200 miles away, or $1400 more expensive, and didn't have twice as much crap to remove and throw away. Then I might consider it


I do like the front seats though.
