i don't see how. you would think that a van does not have the same floor pan as a truck so i think its a no.

i have never looked real hard at van seats but they should be removable from those pedastals. so they might work if you can get the bucket seat tracks. or at least the slider type of seats on pedastals.

they are slider types. i dont think i would get away without getting new tracks though. seem to be hard to find and a bit spendy. i havent actually seen them, so im probly gonna assume they arent that great and that i didnt miss much. (makes me feel a little better about it)
