1966 Seat question
 

I just sent my 1966 front seat in for reupholster. They just called and it has 2 broken springs in the lower seat cushion. Has anyone ever attempted to change a spring from another seat? Looks like a real project. Any other ideas?

I have welded some and pulled some from a donor seat and replaced them. Was not to bad a job. I had to weld a couple on the drivers side on my 66.

I would think that an upholstery shop would have something that would work AND have the experience and knowledge how to do it!

Stopped by upholstery shop yesterday. They figured it out!! Should have my seats back by end of week.

Re: 1966 Seat question
 

Lots of upholstery shops use a bridge piece over the broken springs instead of replacing them and that is not a long term solution. Replacing the spring is the way to go I have had to rip old junk frames apart to get the pieces . Having broken springs is a real common thing in these trucks ...They have seen alot of action over the years
