Nice job on the door panel. Yes, boxes are puter related, not for the seat

Because they did not meet stricter safety codes in the 80's, and GM moving the computer control box under the drivers seat.Is why you DO NOT see swivel front seat set ups in conversion vans any more.
you should be able to attach the box flat to the floor in front or behind the seat base swivel.
Then make a removable cover up for it.Cover it with the carpet you are using in the rest of the van.......

......Wookee

I don't know if the harness can be re-routed a bit, but my 1994 parts van has the computer mounted vertically to the backside of the B-pillar right behind the driver door. The harness and computer are hidden behind the paneling and completely out of harms way. If you could move things around a bit, that would be a great place to move the computer.

Well, I am going to be building a little cabinet behind the seat and I think I can put it in the bottom of it. It reaches pretty far behind the drivers seat.

Oh, and I put in the carpeting. Yup, it's white but I'll have it protected. Just bought some clear plastic floor protector on it right now.
