I've been watching and researching the bench seat issue for some time now, as my '53 3100 needs a seat. I bought a mid-90s Chevy bench from the local pick yard, it fits well and will need recovered. The only problem with these seats is that the covers are glued onto the foam and removing the covers will tear up the foam sometimes drastically, though when you recover it, its not a big deal adding foam, which you would probably do anyhow. I found that most all of the van seats that are not the front seat can be quite thin and could be uncomfortable, and if you wanted to add foam for extra support, the leather will not stretch enough, and the front comfy seats are too wide. Quite the conundrum.
