Re: Standard seat... dreaded broken spring

What I thought was one broken spring ended up being two. Dadgum.

Before heading out on my last spring break trip earlier this week, I ordered some couch springs since they were cheap and showed up when I needed.

To attempt to bring support back to the driver's side, I added some springs across and replaced the broken side support. The broken front to back spring is staying broken, but hopefully there's enough additional support to compensate.

This is a temporary fix so I can keep driving the truck until I park it to repair the rust in the cab this summer.

On the seat foam, it looks like the part number might be 3844920, but the last digit is pretty much impossible to read.
