Does anyone on here own a 61 Econoline Station Bus or a 62 Falcon van? I need some pics of the rear seat floor brackets configuration.

Im not following you. Are you asking for the seat straps or saying you have pics of the floor brackets in a 61?

Re: 61/62 window van owners
Ok,those are the straps that bolt to the floor brackets. What I really need to see is a picture of the frontmost bench seat floor bracket configuration. Thats the brackets that are welded to the floor. I need to see a pic that shows all the brackets as a group so I can see the spacing. This is just for the front bench seat. The rear position bench seat floor brackets are all the same. The fronts however changed a few times over the years. A full set of straps woud be 4 small straps for the rear seat and 2 small and 2 large for the front position seat. So far I cant find any reason the large straps are even needed. All 63 thru 67 front bench seats will install using 4 small brackets just like the rear one. The key to the large straps has got to be with a 61 or 62 model.
Also a 63 would have 2 additional small straps on the front seat just for the armrest that bolted to the floor. That was eliminated in late 63 or 64 when the armrest bolted to the seat underside instead.

Even better that the seat is out cuz what I want to see is the floor brackets the seat bolts to. I need a pic of where the rear bench mounts in the front position,closeest to the doghouse. Some vans had to rear seats and had another by the rear wheel wells but those are all the same back there. can you get me a pic of the front position floor brackets taken as a group shot in one picture,or at least break it down by sides? It would be much appreciated. Also is yours a Deluxe model? A base model normally wont have rear seats unless special ordered that way so the brackets could be different in that case.
By the way,the round steel pieces you speak of are what Im in the process of reproducing along with the t-bolts. Scroll up in this thread and you will see a link from Golas to a pic of them.
