I wanted to keep the seat brackets factory so my plan was to use a long saw to cut a 1" section out of the middle of the foam and glue it together. That way I didn't have to duplicate the upper or lower shapes.

I didn't do it as I sold the truck before I had a chance.
As I am having the seat redone as well, I talked to the guy recovering it and he said he can basically do what you said. He has a special foam saw that can do a nice clean cut. Says this is a common problem and he has done this a lot, so problem solved and I don't loose adjustment.
