05 Driver seat rebuild kit?

The driver's seat is sacked out, and needs rebuilding. Does anyone make a spring and foam kit for the split bench?

I saw a thread in here a few weeks ago that talked about it. It involves some hi density foam and a piece of carpet. I did it in about an hour and my seat feels like I am riding on air. might be worth checking out before you buy a seat rebuild kit. Here is the link: http://www.innertruck.com/3rdgenfrontseatfix/

It makes a HUGE difference.

In addition to the instructions on the link, I added some small pieces directly between the frame and the existing foam. No more pain.

Best of luck

I bought the truck used, and the previous owner was a retired guy who contract hauled RVs, so the seat smells like old man edited by admin.

The seat foam needs replacing, and the cover has some holes/burns.

I saw an episode of Trucks (I think) where they got a foam and spring kit for a ford.
