If you want to have original Ford looking seats (i.e. stock), then LeBaron Bonney covered seats are not the way to go. They are not close to being correct unless they have changed in the last couple of years. They don't look at all like the originals shown in the above #5 post photo. If you just want to have seats that work, then use them.
Vendors sell the springs which are close to original. You will likely need these since finding usable original springs are just about impossible.
Page E62 of the RGJS has some info/pictures covering upholstery and backrest retainer hardware.
I have a folder of pictures/information regarding 82-A closed cab seats I will share. Email me your request to

The attached picture shows the seat support wood.
