Have a sagging Bench Seat ?

As promised a year ago here is what I did to fix the Sagging Bench Seat in a Indent truck

It worked for me.

Hint* Don't turn the volume up since I spoke with my radio voice while filming.


 
Holy crap Dennis, Ford screwed up the seats during the Dent Side era? :/

Guess which seat frame is from a '75 Super Cab and which piece-of-sorry
back-hurting-crap is from my stepfather's '91 Super Cab... ;)

The "square wave" springs are -junk!- and haven't got anywhere near the
yield point strength of the "sine wave" springs' wire. You can see them
mashed-down and staying-that-way there. Pure junk, those.

On top of that (effectively) left half the springs out! :(

Here's my "fix" for it and two years later the scheme worked...

ps- Photobucket sucks, always did and always will IMO. ;) YMMV? ;)
 
Check out the black-wide-oval seat back stops still screwed to the old frame...

...they were still like new! :) I re-used them on the '91 frame because the
sorry "new" squished to hell soft-thin-rubber ones were dead! :/

ps- I'd've just edited/PPS-ed my other post but couldn't.
