Seat Foam Availability?

Hey has anyone bought a Seat Foam Set for these trucks> I see LMC has a cushion but I REALLY need a seat back foam & so far not found one. if not what's the Next Best yr / model seat back foam that's available? The OEM foam is kinda made to the top bar of the seat back frame & over the years all them hawg bodies that been drivin the truck have sqaushed the foam under the bar so that your back rests on the bar & broken the vertical supports. Getting ready for the great springtime F350 back on the road again repairs...Thanks!

Any upolstery shop will have a high density foam solution for you. My local shop cut out the failed foam, glued in new high density foam, repaired the seat fabric, shaped the foam, and recovered my seat.

I dont think any one has foam kits for our trucks. Also have not heard of any other seat foam that could be used as I think most send the seat out or if they have done it themselves that did not post what was used.
Wonder if a older Ford truck has foam kits and if so if it could be used?
If they make a kit for the later trucks you cant use them as they would have a head rest but then again maybe you could like the early one?

if not being too intrusive what was the cost for you? I know it will vary by regiona/area just wondering what they hit you for.

It was about 15 years ago, so prices won't be any guide. For bench foam replacement, drivers side, repair of seat cover about 100 bucks, or so.

Part of the cheap price was I removed the seat and delivered it to him and picked it up. The repair was done with a scrap of heavy material he had on hand. Foam was top drawer. Lots of miles and years on it, still good. I threw on a saddle blanket cover that I bought locally for another $100
