I HAVE A 2000 FULL SIZE CHEVROLET 1500 CONVERSION VAN. THE CONVERSION WAS APPARENTLY DONE BY GLADIATOR. THE DRIVERS CAPTAIN SEAT BRACKET BROKE, AND REPAIRED IN APRIL 2000. IT IS BROKEN AGAIN. WHEN I TURNED LEFT THE SEAT AND I FELL TO THE RIGHT. THIS CREATED ADDITIONAL STRESS ON THE REMAINING BRACKET. THE REPEATED FAILURE OF THIS BRACKET IS OF GREAT CONCERN TO ME AS I AM NOT SECURE IN A SEAT WITH A BROKEN BRACKET AND IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT MY PASSENGERS WOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH A POTENTIAL MISSLE AS MY SEAT WITH ME STRAPPED IN WOULD UNDOUBTEDLY FLY ABOUT THE CABIN OF THE VAN. I AM TAKING IT TO CLASSIC CHEVY IN MENTOR, OHIO TOMORROW TO LEARN IF THEY ARE GOING TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AT THEIR EXPENSE. I HAVE HAD MANY VANS AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO HAVE SEAT BRACKETS REPAIRED. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND I AM VIRTUALLY THE ONLY PERSON TO DRIVE IT. I AM OF AVERAGE SIZE AND IN MY MID 50'S. JUST SO YOU KNOW THAT THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED. *AK
