Does a '00 Astro AWD cargo have implements to directly mount seats in the back and/or would '99 seats work in the front/back?

I can't check the back because it has a mounted cargo liner that I'd cut through if I could potentially mount at least one row of seats back there. I also don't have access to any seats to measure for the front. Has anyone done a transplant like this?

Thank you!

If you crawl under your van and look at the floor from the under carriage you should be able to see if your particular build has the mounts in the floor.

I've seen some cargo's where for some reason they had the mounting inserts. And then I've seen cargo's with out the cutout/mount.

Some of the upfit versions had bolts instead of the inserts for the removable seats.

Yep, look from underneath as dchan says. Being built in the Baltimore plant, all bets are off as to being "standardized". There are 4 possibilities, no mounts, clip in mounts, factory bolt in seats, aftermarket/conversion bolt in seats. My 94 has clip in benches, my 96 has 2nd row buckets, 3rd row bench. 2nd row seats are same as front row, and bolt in exactly the same, but 3rd row is clip in.

I was at a U-pull place recently and saw this bench mounted in the back of a cargo.

I don't recommend doing it this way.

My cargo didn't have the pockets to mount the bench so I added them.
