anybody got any suggestions for finding seat cushion/foam for 79 f150?

 

I provided some advice to fix in your previous post on seat sag and broken spring.

"You can reinforce the springs, or you can take the seat cover off and have some firmer replacement foam cut and inserted in your seat foam at your local auto upholstery shop."

I also stated you should be able to have your broken spring welded back. Please read all the responses on your last post.

 

If you'd rather 'do-it-on-the-cheap',you can get pillow forms at your hobby shop, they are pre-form foam and you can inset as many of those as it may take to fill in the space of the seat that needs repaired. Then get a good, medium-priced bench seat cover to put over your work , what ya' think? ( I have used ' poor-boy ingenuity' for years )

 

Thanks for all the suggestions. I just dropped the seat off at a local upholstery shop. He said he could build the cushion back up and reinforce it and fix the spring. Then he will reupholster it. He said it would be ready in 2-3 days. he is chargin me $300. Sounds fair to me.

 

Dude!
__if that's all it takes to git my classic bench up to snuff.
Then I'm there.

If others out there want the cheap,
Go find a late-model (up to 96') pull off seat tracks.
put your truck's original tracks on, then bolt it in!

 

Sounds like a good deal. Let us know how it comes out, and if you are happy with the result.
