There is only one company that makes them... American Cushion Industries.

LMC, Brothers and I'm pretty sure most of the vendors on the board carry them. You'll need to go through one of the vendors to purchase them, but hold onto your shirt... they're about $300 per seat.

If it's original look and feel that you want, new cushions make all the difference.

Edit: Just read your other post... I don't think the foams are available for the Utility buckets.

I actually have a set of sport buckets and utility buckets. I got the utility buckets this weekend too, drove six hours to get them, but they don't fit. they are in pretty nice shape, an I was going to run the utilites until i recovered my stock seats. I don't think that I need new foam on the original passenger side, but my drivers frame is broken. I got a passenger side bucket from lazygaurd this weekend. It needs a new cover, but the foam is in really nice shape. I think I might just recover them this week.

thanks

The repro foam doesn't fit the utility buckets, neither does the repro seat covers. You'll have to have them made.

bouncy don't you have utility buckets for the green blazer? are the brackets different?

I haven't installed the seats yet. I'll roll the drivers seat over tonight to see if it looks different. As far as I know, they are interchangeable so I assumed they were the same.

I ordered a replacement set from Mother Truckers and if I remember right they were around $180 and were the correct ones for a CST model.

That's a great price! LMC lists them ~$300, I think I spent ~$225 for mine... I should'a called you, Wes!
