Any interest in Fuso suspension seat bases?

[GR8ADV]

I have the original driver and a custom passenger spring suspension base. (A driver side was modified to fit on the passenger side).

There seems to be (for obvious reasons) little interest in FUSO stuff stateside. Just curious if it is worth the trouble to clean up and package for a sale or not.

How come you removed them? What model year did they come off of? I have a 2012 FGB.

No real reason other than we wanted new seats. The originals were 20 years old.

In the end it does not appear the new seats without suspension are as good as the old seats with. Doing it again, I would just buy Fuso seats and keep the bouncy suspension.

2004.

I was very interested to see these suspension bases.
Here in Australia the only Fuso model that comes with a driver's suspension seat is the current one, that being the FGB71.
As luck would have it, the FGB71 seat's bolt pattern is exactly the same as that in the FG84 (similar to the FG140), so I fitted one of these in my truck. I am actually quite happy with how they work.

What surprises me is that the US model suspension bases that you pictured are similar, but not the same as the ones I have.
I would have expected that they may simply be a mirror of the RHD model, but they aren't. Very weird.

The driver is a stock Fuso piece. But the original owners, the Greenes, modified a driver seat base to bolt into the passenger side .

The driver is a stock Fuso piece.

I fully understand that, but as I said, although similar, that base design is different from the ones I have (I also modified a driver's side base to fit on the passenger's side).
