Yes Bostrum Viking Companion seats were used. They were modified so the back
would fold frontward, unlike the rigid truck seats. And they used unique
fine grain vinyl.

The Summit link worked but, beyond the fabric, the top of the backrest on
the Summit seat looks more square than the original A990 versions look like
to me. I suppose an upholstery guru could fix that. 

Thanks for the Garland link. Good to see it again. 

And sorry to hear about the laptop! Was it a TOYota hard drive? :-P ;-) 

Thanks,
Gary H.
