Factory style seat springs
 
I came across a spare seat to use while I work on covering mine, some of the springs are broken. Is there a source for replacement springs for the seats in our trucks? I haven't found anything yet.
Is there any springs that work for building a custom seat using the factory frame?

Not sure if you've seen these but there is some good info on recreating/installing the seat springs in factory seats. I've never looked into building a custom seat from an original one.

Thanks cericd, lot of good info there. This seat I picked up must be out of a '66, the springs are completely different than any in those pics. I haven't had my seat out yet to look at the springs in it. Actually doesn't feel like any of the springs are broken in mine.
