Re: Bench seat end spring replacements

I took some springs out of the original seat in my truck, which is not the full foam seat, and bent them so I think they will work. The problem is they are a smaller gauge wire than the broken spring which was already apparently not strong enough since they are so commonly broken. I may have to see if I can figure out a way to use 2 springs as TXCR suggested.

I don’t see why the LMC end springs wouldn’t work. The seat frame you have is pretty much identical to the 73-80 seat frames. It doesn’t say 73-87, it’s 73-80. The 81-87 seat frame was totally redesigned. So those ends springs definitely don’t work on the 81-87 seats.
