Help to identify my seat

I may have a problem. About a week ago I placed an order with Mid-fifty for new seat upholstery for my 54. Yesterday I pulled the seat from the attic where it's been for several years. This afternoon when I started stripping it I realized the innards aren't like the pictures of others here of the same vintage. I had assumed it was a stock bench seat. Do I need to call Mid-fifty in hopes I can cancel my order???













front height

Width at the widest point of the seat

The hinge where the back attaches to the seat

Anyone know where to purchase replacement springs for these seats?
My drivers side sags because of broken or weak springs.
Thanks All

Auto upholstery shop might be able to help you with spring issues, when I had my seat redone they fixed a few springs that needed attention before they recovered it.

Do you mean the coil springs or the zig zag springs used in 53-56 seats?

I got a length of Z-springs at a local furniture store that upholstered couches.
