The seat frame has two long springs that appear to pull the seat forward. I managed to break one, so I'd like to replace them, but can't seem to find them online. Can anyone recommend a source? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | You probably won't find them on line listed as 1950 Chevy 3100 seat springs. You'll have to look for them by size and wire diameter. Our local Ace store has a display of various springs but the selection is fairly limited. I bet if you googled pull springs or small coil springs & spent some time looking you'd find a source.

If The Filling Station doesn't have them, just head out to the hardware store and find something that will work. They are out of sight so you don't have to be too fussy. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 576 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 576 | think i saw a pretty fair display at either homedepot or lowes also......................dave
