Navy Chief Posted January 15, 2019 Report Posted January 15, 2019 I have been having a hard time tracking down a replacement seat for my 1951 project truck, somewhere along the lines the original was replaced with a mystery seat that is too narrow for the truck... Anyways I think I may have a line on a seat, the only issue is that both the lower and backrest springs have been left in the weather for too long and are basically junk. Has anybody attempted to recreate/rebuilt the seat with off the shelf springs? I would have the originals for measurements and templates, just curious if this road has been travelled before. Quote
ggdad1951 Posted January 15, 2019 Report Posted January 15, 2019 my upholsterer replaces springs in mine from some source she had (donor or new I don't know) when mine was redone. Check with a local upholster and see what they might know. Quote
buds truck Posted January 15, 2019 Report Posted January 15, 2019 Depending on where you live, I have a seat back, seat bottom and a seat frame minus the seat tracks that you can have for free. Springs are in great shape. Quote
