they're part of the floor , they're not bolted down or anything . it's basically like 2 thick steel coffee cans sticking up out of the floor with seats bolted to them

I heard it was because the seat belts don't work if the seats are not facing forward. But there are a few companies that still sell them.

It was explained to me by a local van shop back in the 80's the because the seat belt bolted to the top half and the bottom half was secured to the floor, with only one bolt or sometimes just a latch holding the two together. If you look at 90-up conversions, most don't even swivel!
