It's DONE!!!!
I'm a happy lad at this point. It was a lot of work to get this seat back in shape, but it's not too bad at all. Like I mentioned before, the powder coating never happened. So I cleaned the frame and
primed it up. After that I spent a bunch of time
painting it and getting it spruced up. Then came reassembly...
The reassembly took a lot of time. Most of it was fine, but getting things fixed on that driver's side was interesting. I added a small steel rod to the upper frame to help strengthen the broken framing and I had to get inventive to replace missing springs. I got it and it
looks good. Then came the
carpet layer followed by the foam. I used two layers of foam. I had a slight bulge in the middle of the seat caused by replacing springs so I countered that by covering the surrounding areas with 1" medium density foam and then covering the whole shebang with a big piece of 2" medium density foam. It turned out
pretty good that way and when sitting on the seat you don't even notice the difference. The only real downside is there is still a
slight droop on the driver's side front corner, but it's far and away better than it was when I started. Now, to get the rest of the cab done so I can get this sucker installed
