Do you need to have the springs replaced?

I'm having the seat done by California auto upholstery in san Carlos on el comino real. The springs appear to be good but the foam is pretty flat.

Actually, I just thought of something...

What happens to the seat if you end up not liking it because it's no longer comfy and has that "imprint" where you sit that made it soo comfortable? What you going to do then? Just a thought..

And I really like that photo of your F350 with the Golden Gate behind it. Looks very nice. At least I hope that's the Golden gate... or as a Civil Engineer I just failed... hard... haha

Excellent question. The seat wasn't too comfy to begin with so I'm looking forward to an improvement.

And I really like that photo of your F350 with the Golden Gate behind it. Looks very nice. At least I hope that's the Golden gate... or as a Civil Engineer I just failed... hard... haha
Thanks! It is indeed the Golden Gate Bridge. Here's the thread for everybody to show off thier trucks by a landmark if your interested.

Its Done!

I picked up my seat today and after my honey do's I installed the freshly reupholstered seat back in my truck.

California auto upholstery did an excellent job! It looks just like the original and feels nice and firm, no more gorilla dip. Its smooth all the way across. Here's another benifit, It has a new car smell. I am totally stoked on how well it looks and feels. Here are the photos.

Cleaned the carpet and all the dust bunnies and all the little ***** of foam.





The new seat in its original Ranger Lariat pattern.

Seats

I am very interested in this. I know I have a Bronco and not a truck but, still interested. I am in the middle of redoing the entire inside of my '79 bronc and looking at all posibilities. The info on seat bolt in to 98-99 is VERY helpful. I am assuming the same would be true for the bronco as well. I do want to see how this turns out for you. And, by the way, that is a very nice truck you have there. Best of luck to ya.

That seat looks awesome and so does the truck!

On a side note. I have my amps mounted on a board to the back wall the same way.
