Dave,

The 9-person Vanagons used a conventional single seat for the driver's side
and a 2-person bench
on the passenger side. The seat slides into the same tracks that the regular
front seat uses and the
seat back is designed to be supported by a steel bulkhead. I suppose you
could install a bar of some
some sort for that purpose as has been discussed here in the past. There
should be info on this in the
archives.

As for finding a 2-person front bench, you may want to post on the
SyncroDoublecabs List as some
of the listmembers had gone the reverse and removed the steel bulkhead to
create a walkthrough interior.

Cheers,
