I'm looking to replace the rear triple bench in my 10-seater T150 Wagon with a double-wide 36". I may also be interested in a driver's side 31" double bench.

I noticed that eBay auction wasn't the split/recline double seat. Honestly, I'm trying my best to sort out how to know WHAT I need based on all the variations (and the lack of details on most online listings). I really want to replace my back triple seat with another of the double-benches in my van (cloth with recline). I have noticed in trying to move them around that although the rails are the same spacing, the position of the seat belt on the outside end is different (if I try to move the first row to the second, or the second row to the third, the seatbelt mechanism hits on the pillars). I am going to just modify/fabricate something to make it work, but I would still prefer reclining seats.

Assuming I can't find another 36", can anyone confirm what type of 31" double-bench I need in order to fit the driver's side rails in my 150 wagon? In other words, it seems the 31" bench had a variety of rail configurations based on which van model/configuration it came from. (I know that's been asked in various threads on here, and I've tried to sort it all out, but have found myself a bit overwhelmed by all the info and possible configurations.)

I bought that seller's split/recline double seat. I didn't even know the difference at the time and they didn't either. They met me at a business for pickup and I guess I got lucky and that's the one they brought with them. Actually I thought some people were telling me the seat I got was an upgraded one that only XLT have.

i found these last night. i was supposed to go pick them up today to replace my gray ones, but i measured my seats and they are 36in double seats. These look like 31in?



here's the link if anyone else can use them. awesome deal, he has 2 doubles and a 3 seater... he's only like 3 miles from me too, i'm bummed they won't work for me.

they are located in fountain valley ca. at a place called Fam Vans if you are familiar with them.

The seats with the armrest are ALL XLT model and have the recline feature. ALL of the 31" seats are non-recline/NO armrest as try mount next to each other in the rear of the 12 passenger van. If you have the seats from a XL van, those seats do not have armrest or recline even on the 36" seat.

To get the matching 31" seat that goes in the position of the 36" seat, you have to get the seat that has the stagger over the RH side just like the 36" seat. If you get the wrong side 31" seat, it will lock into the floor but not fit against the LH wall of the Transit.

Thanks CrewVanMan! I knew you might be able to set me straight. So it sounds like I need to find XLT seats (to get the recline) and to get the narrower 31", I need the last row, driver's side double from a 12-passenger (not to be confused with the center rear of a 15-passenger). Now, hopefully that will have enough clearance for the rear pillar and the wheel well in my 150 (when I move either of the other two doubles back to the last row, they are too tight against the pillar and the wheel well and won't fully lock-in).
