If you don't have the swivel seat option, its pretty
easy take the passenger seat off the seat tracks and
install it facing the rear.  There is a little spring
loaded clip that you need to raise while pulling the
seat forward in order to remove the seat.  I do this
all the time when I go camping, takes about 1 minute.
I thought about welding in the swivel mount when I did
my conversion, but decided I didn't want to compromise
safety in an accident.

I've done this on my 90GL.  Search the archives for
info. but basically
you
get a swivel seat base that's been cut out of a westy,
then either
drill and
bolt it into your van, or better yet get it welded in
place.  Your seat
slides in with no problem.  I think any year swivel
seat base will
work, the
main thing is to make sure it was cut out of the donor
vehicle nicely.
