Seat Foam

[CVA59]

I have done some searching on here and the web with no luck. Does anyone know if someone produces new bench seat foam for our year model trucks? I have seen it for every year model but ours. I hope i am just looking in the wrong places because i have to replace my bottom foam.

Thanks

I made my own, learned a lot as I went along, used new seatalator piano wire on the base and back, added trunck matting material, then 1" thick std foam glued to 1" thick dense foam, glued them together and then shaved them so the seat back would come forward......Did not put any foam on the seat back itself, I was trying to leave as much room as I could since my belly and rear end are so large. here is what it looked like when finished, oh yes the secret to the foam is using the correct glue and the secret to shaping the foam is using a electric right angle grinder. It makes one heck of a mess but it shaped the seat just like we wanted. Kieth

Sorry but I did not take pictures step by step on the seat, scroll thru these pictures just click on the 52 of 353 next button and you can see how we did this.

Just wish I had taken more step by step pictures, but oh well, and it was expensive I think total I have $400.00 in the darn thing but it looks better then new. Kieth
