Foam seat back question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone tried to build a foam benchseat back out of a spring back frame? I want the foam back and I am having trouble finding a foam back frame. Does anyone have pictures of just the frame that I could use to build something from?

Here are the few I could find of my full foam seat back. Taken from the back before I removed the cover. I was interested mostly in the hog ring fastening. Maybe others have more views that will be useful for you. Good luck.

Thanks for the pics bollybib, thats exactly the back I am looking for. Still thinking I could build one from the spring back frame. It looks like all I would need to do is weld a grid into the spring back frame.
