Brian (MARTINSR), if your seat ends up really thin, the springs may be a good idea. The stock seats are too thick for an unchopped truck, at 5'10" I'm looking out the top of the windshield in mine.

Unfortunately you will have multiple issues when dealing with a chopped truck.

A really low seat puts your knees up in the air and possibly your steering wheel in an awkward location.

On a truck like yours I would wait until it's drivable to do some testing of the seat on actual drives before upholstering it.
