May Have Found Custom Seat Foam :) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**The Rocknrod** · 10-25-2016, 03:42 PM

I was looking at the seat foam I have for my truck. It came from a Custom Cab so the seat foam is full foam.
The number on it says 3187055.
I search GM Parts Wiki and found in the 1969 page (among others) 3817055 fits 1969 bench seats. Am I reading that wrong?

Cause if it's right . . .

And in the 1976 parts catalog it says it fits 65-68:

Rogue 64 · 10-25-2016, 11:49 PM

Wow, thats cool

**60-66** · 10-26-2016, 08:24 AM

When reading the parts book you have to included the sentence above also where it says 62-68 Cab W full Foam Seat
69 Cab .....3187055

The full Foam seat was also available for standard seats.

**The Rocknrod** · 10-27-2016, 10:28 AM

That's exactly right full foam.

**The Rocknrod** · 10-27-2016, 10:32 AM

This seat frame.

jhrusk · 10-27-2016, 01:05 PM

Does the foam from later models work on 64-66 seats. If so standard or deluxe?

**The Rocknrod** · 10-27-2016, 03:14 PM

That's what the question in post #1 is about.
The Deluxe seat is the Full Foam seat shown in #5 above. The standard seat has straight springs front to back of the seat frame.

**The Rocknrod** · 10-28-2016, 10:28 AM

So the foam would be this?: https://www.tuckersparts.com/67-68-C...ion-only..html
Looks like the foam bottom I have:

61K10 · 10-28-2016, 01:09 PM

Just a note--not for 60-61. 62up as you have posted. my seat base is different and my tk has the custom comfort op. It had the cloth cover also (found a few pieces) my seat base is flat.

**The Rocknrod** · 10-29-2016, 03:40 PM

Man I thought I'd get a bunch of kudo's (Bravo Zulu's) on this one. I guess everyone already knew? Expect me.

I'll go back to sleep.

**aerotruk63** · 10-29-2016, 04:54 PM

KUDO's to ya Bud,
didn't know that fact. It takes someone to ask the question in order for the research to be done.

Rogue · 10-29-2016, 11:57 PM

I was excited to see this, Master Chief!
Nothing worse than a nice truck with a crappy uncomfortable seat.

61K10 · 10-30-2016, 12:38 PM

I don't think most knew about this. Not much info about seat springs and foam, just what fabric pattern and color. So thanks for posting.

**MusicMan70** · 10-30-2016, 12:56 PM

Kudos for this great info find Rocknrod!

I know this will help many others, Thanks.

Gunnin4ya · 10-30-2016, 01:55 PM

Thank You, Thank You. You just saved me a ton of time. Was just starting to look for foam with ZERO results.

Ya there is no info anywhere I can find on the full foam seats either and the aftermarket sellers cannot address the issue. I was just lucky finding that number I guess.

61K10 · 10-31-2016, 12:47 PM

So lets go one step further. Is there two types of seat base springs? 62-up? the one you show is not flat but recessed for the thick foam.

**The Rocknrod** · 10-31-2016, 04:21 PM

Here is a great post that shows the difference in the two types of seat springs:

La Zona Imagery · 10-11-2017, 12:37 AM

So if I currently have the standard seats, I can use this full foam replacement on my seat frame?

No.

**aotte1** · 10-11-2017, 09:25 AM

What do you think of it's quality? Made in USA?

Good to know same as later year trucks.

Thanks,
Les

**The Rocknrod** · 10-11-2017, 09:40 AM

Some info on standard seat foam. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=640827
We should start a thread on Standard Seats maybe?

oldtrux · 10-11-2017, 10:36 AM

great info rocknrod,so this should fit my 66 with deluxe seat?an extra 10% off at
tuckers right now too!pulled my seat apart and foam has number 3816940
thanks for the info!

**The Rocknrod** · 10-11-2017, 11:35 AM

That's my opinion. Haven't heard anyone say otherwise. Can't seem to find your part number in the GM parts Wiki. Make sure your lower seat springs look like post #5, not straight from front to rear. Ya the lower foam is only $130'somethin bucks right now. If I had a job I'd buy it.

oldtrux · 10-11-2017, 11:47 AM

yes mine is like post # 5,just to further complicate things i wonder if the next tuckers #d1054 would also give us the foam for the back needed?hhhmmm

actually i think d1054 is a full foam back
lmc has it with full foam back or thinner foam back like our deluxe seats....but more expensive
