Has anyone used truck seats in their vans? I may have found a pair of truck seats that I would like to maybe purchase but am unsure about the width of the seats. I dont mean the rails...could fab something up if the rails dont fit...Im talking about the overall width. This is for 91 GMC Vandura. The original seats seem to be alot narrower than the ones I am interested in out of a 94 GMC 1500 truck. Just worried about...like too close to the door that kinda thing to get it shut or rubbing on it...if Im making sense.

Any van truck car seat will do/fit by using a alum plate, the black plate in pic, drill holes to match the pedestal and the rails on the seat bottom.

OK, thats not really what I mean....Im talking about the foam part of the seat it self. Will it be too wide using a truck seat. When Im sitting on it, will it hit the door and wear the fabric. They look wider than the van seats, the part you sit on and the back rest. I havent measured them kinda thing cause they are a few hours away...I just curious before I make the trip. But the info for the fab is a great help also....

I put some from a Subaru in my Shorty, a plate makes them much easier to fit.
