I have two broken springs on my bench seat that I am redoing. One spring is the corner spring at the front of the bottom seat. You know, where you get in/out all of the time. The other is also on the bottom and is one of the long pieces of metal with a small coil on the end. Any recommondations?

A company called Auveco used to make and sell these springs. I'm not sure if they're even still in business. I have seen Nos ones show up on ebay from time to time . Your best bet would be to find an upholstery shop thats been around a long time and ask them. | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 47 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: May 2009 Posts: 47 | I just did my seat springs a couple winters ago. I went to an upholstery shop and ordered a roll of s spring , they use it in couches and it works great. Just cut what you need and fit looks just like the original | | | | | Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 96 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 96 | Pictures would be a big help, I just did a 66 gmc pickup seat and it is completely different that the springs in a 65 chevrolet that I have. post the pics give dimensions I found obsolete inventory at American Upholstery in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I just went over and looked through 100 boxes of obsolete springg and bought what I needed (10 -12 springs) Send me one original spring of each type and I will go over there and find what you need. (do the pictures first so I can look before you send them to me) Kieth Tulsa, OKlahoma 918-446-2245 e mail pictures to [email protected] here are pictures of my 66 gmc seat, http://kieth.smugmug.com/Trucks/66-GMC/13311086_gRF57#989634304_xhcKpdoes your truck seat look like mine ?

My seat looks EXACTLY like yours! I have two broken springs on the bottom seat. One is the long piece with the little coil on the end just like yours. The other one is the corner spring that is bent 90-degrees or so in the corner bottom. I'll go take pictures and send them to you. That would be so awesome!
Thanks!
