help with Seat Foam

[Hottrucks]

ok my bench seat is pretty good except for the driverside where my arse goes.... makes me lean on the door due to the lack of foam on the edge?? I could stay with the old school fix (pack it with news paper lol) but would rather see about changeing the foam and backer which looks like berlap??

any ideas or help would be great ...I don't want to change the seat but if it gets to expencive to repair/fix I'll end up doing that instead...I will say it will stay a bench..the other half likes to slide into the middle and lean over on me kinda like on a big date and it thats what it take to keep her in the truck then so be it....

The retro look ------ Don't see that too often anymore.

My old seat foam was deteriorated and couple of springs broken. I found out that buying the foam and cover was way above what I wanted to spend on it at this time so I got a bench back seat from an 86 Chevy crew cab ($60).

I still plan on redoing the original, but needed something to sit on that I could see out of.

yea I slap on what they call the oldies station (WTF oldies are not from the 70's how dare they) listen to some old school rock and put the miles under it kinda like being in High School again .. same music, same old iron, and no money or place to go!!!...lmao

I dont real want to switch the seat because then I'll never fix the old stock one....

is the foam in the bottom just a flat piece or is it formed to some shape??? I have no problem with the duc tape over the hole and the mexican blanket over it kinda keeps the old school rat rod look but my old arse and back can't take the all day cruzing with one cheek in a hole ..but it beats a milk crate which is what I drove it on for 2 weeks....

I wounder if any newer seat are about the same size bottom and if one could be used as a foam donor the put the old cover back on???? anyone tried that??

sorry guys half the fun of being cheap is looking for new ways to stick to the original hot rod ( what they call rat rods??) traditions use what you have or can get cheap from your buddies or the local scrap yard...I have stuck to it in this truck so far because this was just going to be a cheap beater truck I never thought I was going to have this much fun with it.....

I had the same problem this is how how was able to repair the seat. Here is the link to my thread in the FAQ http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=351620

The covers and foam sold for these seats are pretty expensive, so I had my seat redone locally. Custom vinyl, new foam, fixed broken springs for $250.
