is there any other bumper for the front or back that you guys have found that will bolt up nicely for a 1970 a-100 van...
looking to do a rat rod driver and just need something nice and not all bent up...
don't care what brand, make or what year..something I might find in a bone yard that is plentiful, looks good and is in the budget.
any and all information is appreciated...

also, has anyone done a high back seat swap that is easy?

thanks!!!!!

All the A100 bumpers should work, but as you have probably found, hard to find in decent shape.
I've seen one with a B van bumper, but don't know how much work it took.
I'd take some measurements of the bracket width, bolt hole spacing and the width of the body where it wraps and go from there. Plentiful in the yards really depends on what you have locally. Most places will have very few cars with real bumpers, and most trucks are wider.

Seats - the early B vans have a similar seat with a taller back. Most seats are too wide to swap in. Again, measure out the room you have. Your height makes a difference too. Mine had some Toyota Celica (?) seats and the base was thick enough that I had to recline them to the point where my head was behind the door window to have headroom.
