I think the 57-58 are the same but I'm not 100% on that Boise is a bit of a drive but maybe I could figure something out shoot me a couple pics I'm interested in it

What color is the truck going to be?

I like the brown seat a lot, but like the pattern on the black one matching the engine compartment. I think silver stitching on the black leather could look good as well

I have not touched my seat yet. Did you have a pattern for the foam? What did you do to the springs under the foam?

The foam was done freehand and the springs are all stock I lengthened the top and bottom by 3"
The top was cut and added a piece of sheet metal between the pieces to raise it and the bottom I just used .5x.5 square tubing to add structure
