I just compared an 86 Westy front seat base with an 87 GL passenger van
seat. The dimensions of the metal pan look the same but the size of the
seat foam on the pan is larger, thicker and longer to the front by about
2 inches. Thus the fabric covering is also larger. AFAIK around 85 the
GL front seats became larger in this way while the swiveling seat vans
kept the smaller base due to needing to swivel.
