I met a guy at the Carlisle import show, weekend before last, who had a '85
westy GL, with the cargo floor tracks.

He said he had a optional middle seat that slid in on the tracks in the
floor.
I'm thinking "two person middle seat out of a 7 pass" 'cause that fill fit.
but that's not the one he had.
He had a SINGLE captains chair (front seat) mounted on 2 small runners that
slid into the tracks in the floor. 

Anyone heard of this before??  
he said it was original. I've heard of a single captains seat on a swivel
base BOLTED to the floor directly behind the front pass, but never a single
that slid into the tracks.

odd.
