Re: Bench seat foam "help"
Thanks !!! heathbirkendahl, Do you know who made the foams you had to cut down ?
This is the kind of info I'm looking for, do you know if it was PUI or American Chusion ? Oh and did you have the full foam seat frame or the standard seat frame?

Re: Bench seat foam "help"
Post a picture of your seat foams , it just sounds like your upholster is lazy it usually much easier ,cheaper and a better fit to repair what you have rather than replace it with over priced aftermarket foam that doesn't fit .

Re: Bench seat foam "help"
Hey Grumpy!
I have no pics at this time, but Repairing the seat is still an option, he will do what ever I want from repair to replace or custom build new foams. I'm looking for the option that will give me a nice useable / comfortable seat without going crazy with the $$$. I can get PUI foams for $185 from Jegs. But would like to hear feed back about them. He is a PUI dealer but has never used the 69-72 bench cushions from them, he's going to call them Monday and get the low down. He recently did a seat for a customer that brought his own foams and had the issues of being too stiff & tall. ( he'd didn't know the brand ) he had to cut them down. I'm / we are doing the research before jumping into it. More feed back Guys !!!

Re: !
Thanks for the reply !
That would be Tim @ Truckseats, I bought my covers from him, good stuff. I'm currently waiting on a reply from him on who makes his cushions and if he has had any issues like you described. Gary Quote:
