I bought springs from NPD. Also look at your seat back rails real good while they're apart. My driver's seat leaned way back on the door side. I thought it was broken springs, there were broken springs but mostly in the seat bottom.

I found the side rail of the seat had cracked right below the cross panel that holds the headrest and seat latch. Look for any cracks starting in that area, you may want to weld or reinforce it before you put the covers on. Mine was cracked all the way through in that one spot and starting to crack on the other side.

Thanks for the heads up. My frames and springs look good, and the cushions are marginal with the drivers side bottom being the worst as usual. The hog rings somehow came off (may have been a previous recover) and the drivers side lower was separating really far from the plastics. I'm still undecided if I want to build these or not, I may try to trade them for an SS dash carrier or some other items needed or just throw them up for sale. If I do decide to refurbish them, have any of you guys got away with just using the bench seat belts with the buckets?
