Seat Foam/Bun Questions
 
I am rebuilding the buckets in my 71 Blazer.
In regards to the seat foam. Some say with wires
some say Without Wires others don't mention them.
So what does with wires mean and do I need that. Any suggestions on specific brand etc is appreciated.
Thanks

The PO put buckets from an early '80s Camaro/Firebird in my '71 GMC Jimmy.
They have the forming wires/ springs molded _inside_ the seat foam.
Nice and tidy for installation when new. When they are worn out, they're irreparable.
I'm stuck with then, until I can replace them. Every so often a stray spring pokes me in the butt.
I would avoid them. But they might be OK for the first 25 to 40 years, IDK.
