Bench seat foam cushion

[Old77]

Where are you all getting replacement bench seat foam? I looked on LMC and they're wanting $250 for the foam .....so obviously, I'm wanting something cheaper and I'm not finding anything on eBay

I sourced mine from USA1. Iirc, it was around $200. Can't recall exactly, it was last year that I ordered it.

I'll give them a look.

woah....USA1 is 280 Maybe LMC isn't as high as I thought they were. I was really hoping to spend $200 or less for the foam LOL

I wonder if they've gone up. I really don't think I paid that much for mine. I'll have to pull the invoice when I get home. Got me wondering now.

....and I just confirmed that's with free shipping I may have to pull the trigger on that. I drove the dually to work today just for grins and when i got out I noticed that the front seat cushion is a little saggy from age.

According to the questions and comments, the seatbelt holes are not precut. Don't know if that makes a difference to you or not.

Yeah, that actually does. I hand't noticed that. Well, crap.

I can't imagine it's that hard to trim the holes for the belts. The retainers are available from LMC, parts 4 & 5 (Under $20).

What would be used to cut the holes out with? I'm not familiar with seat foam and wouldn't want to get too aggressive with it or something and ruin something LOL

You might want to check around locally. The upholstry shop here quoted me @250 to reuse my covers but replace all of the foam bottom and back on the seat.

Seat foam trimming isn't that difficult. I have found the easiest way to trim it is with an electric meat carver, like you use on the Thansksgiving turkey. Slices the foam like butter. And with the long blade trimming or contouring the foam is quite easy. Years ago I purchased a really cheap one just for seat foam. Better than having to sneak away with the one from the kitchen.

I would just take measurements or make a template from your existing foam and trim the seat bolt holes into the foam. Easy.

looks like USA1 has raised the price since the end of January 2018. I paid $199.95 for the foam for a '81-'87 model front bench seat lower.

Eh hehehehe "sneak away with the one from the kitchen".... that was funny!

Found a guy local to me with a used seat with good foam I’m gonna grab for $20 and grab the foam from that. We’ll see how it turns out. Worse case scenario is I’ll use @dhenderz idea and possibly make my own
