That vintage van came in passenger and cargo versions, and the passenger
versions came in RWD and 4WD, while the cargo versions were all RWD. To be
honest, I don't remember the rear suspension setup on those vans.
There are no factory middle or rear seats or hardware for the cargo
versions, so cargo vans with middle or rear seats most likely had
aftermarket seats and seat belts installed by conversion companies.
