My panelvan has a low back bench seat and drivers seat in the front, and they have definitely seen better days.
does anyone know what other kind of aftermarket seating is available for the drivers/ passenger bench seating? would prefer some form of bucket seat for myself, but anything will do really.

Second hand Honda Prelude. A mate picked up a couple for $100 the pair.

They do not bolt straight in, and it is an engineering modification when putting non-original seats in that have different mounting points.

A good trimmer/upholsterer should be able to redo seats and put bolsters in to give bucker effect.

a trimmer can make the old seats new again by replacing all the parts in it.

also columbus they can modify the seats to be a bench but with a sunken in buckett section.
