 Any experience out there either equipping a bus with these seats that did
 not originally include them?  Can the same seats be used, simply replacing
 the undercarriage?  Any notions about where such things might be obtained
 (I'll be checking local Denver junkyards).

i have sold a bunch of these.
you will need to find a junked westy.  you'll need the upper tracks, the
turntable, the lever, and the base that is welded to the westy.
you need a circular cutoff saw to cut the welds to remove the base from the
westy.
  and when you weld it back in your van, simply weld it at the same places it
was welded into the westy.    you can use your existing seats.
