The monopost of claim 1, wherein the inner subassembly forms a first load transfer lobe between the first clamshell components. 3. The monopost of claim 2, wherein the outer subassembly forms a second load transfer lobe between at least one of the second clamshell components and the inner subassembly. 4. The monopost of claim 1, wherein each of the first clamshell components comprises a substantially vertical portion and a substantially horizontal portion extending at a lower end of the substantially vertical portion. 5. The monopost of claim 4, wherein each of the second clamshell components has a lower end attached to a respective one of the substantially horizontal portions. 6. The monopost of claim 1, further comprising: a keel attached to the inner and outer subassemblies at one end thereof, the keel having a base configured for load transfer; anda catcher plate configured for attachment to a frame of the vehicle to receive the load transfer from the base, the catcher plate having a slot for the keel to allow movement of the free-standing seat fore and aft in the vehicle, wherein the base is positioned on an opposite side of the catcher plate from the inner and outer subassemblies. 7. The monopost of claim 6, further comprising a spreader that connects the monopost to respective tracks for the movement of the free-standing seat, wherein the spreader passes through an opening in the keel. 8. The monopost of claim 6, further comprising a member positioned underneath the catcher plate, the member configured to fit a space between cross members of a vehicle floor. 9. The monopost of claim 6, further comprising another keel attached to the inner and outer subassemblies at an opposite end thereof, the other keel configured to ride on top of the catcher plate during the movement of the free-standing seat fore and aft. 10. The monopost of claim 9, further comprising a spreader that connects the monopost to respective tracks for the movement of the free-standing seat, wherein the other keel rests on the spreader. 11. The monopost of claim 1, further comprising front and rear spreaders that connect the monopost to respective tracks for the movement of the free-standing seat, wherein the first clamshell components are attached to the spreaders. 12. The monopost of claim 1, further comprising a strut pivotally attached to the monopost, the strut configured for supporting a seat frame for pivoting relative to the monopost. 13. The monopost of claim 12, further comprising a clevis at a proximate end of the strut, the clevis providing the pivotal attachment to the monopost, the clevis configured to bear on a structure of the monopost to transfer load into the vehicle. 14. The monopost of claim 13, wherein the structure comprises a block configured to assume at least first and second positions. 15. The monopost of claim 14, wherein in the first position the block prevents forward pivoting of the seat frame, and wherein in the second position the block allows forward pivoting of the seat frame. 16. The monopost of claim 14, wherein the block is positioned between plates attached to the monopost inside the inner subassembly. 17. The monopost of claim 12, wherein the strut has a lead screw for adjusting a pitch of the seat frame. 18. The monopost of claim 17, further comprising a belt drive arranged to advance and retract the lead screw. 19. The monopost of claim 1, wherein the wing portion and the wing clamshell form a wing at an upper end of the monopost, the monopost further comprising towers at respective ends of the wing, the towers configured for attaching a seat frame to the monopost. 20. The monopost of claim 19, wherein each tower comprises a member that extends from above the wing, enters through an opening in the wing clamshell, continues through the wing, and at least partially extends through an opening in the wing portion. 21. The monopost of claim 19, wherein each tower comprises a member attached across an end of the wing, the member having a return flange attached on an underside of the wing. 22. The monopost of claim 1, wherein the first clamshell components have a flange that is sandwiched between the wing clamshell and the wing portion, and wherein the wing clamshell is attached to the first clamshell components by a three-layer attachment through the flange. 23. The monopost of claim 1, wherein the seat is configured for movement fore and aft in the vehicle, wherein the monopost travels fore and aft in a floor opening during the movement, the monopost further comprising a paneling system configured to substantially close the floor opening at each position of the monopost, the paneling system comprising at least a first panel fixed relative to the monopost, and a second panel that is adjustable relative to the first panel.
