Front Bench seat foam 69 Dart
Bench seats get no respect when it comes to foam. I didn't see any when I reupholstered the seats in my 73 Dart last year. I bought a 4" thick block of foam that was long enough to fit across the springs and trimmed the edges to fit (electric carving knife works great). I got the foam at JoAnn Fabrics. If they had not had it, I was looking for companies that make boxes with foam liners, such as suppliers to the computer or aerospace industries.
The original foam that I retrieved from the seat was about 2 inches thick after about 36 years. The additional foam with the additional wrestling to get it to fit made the seat a little more firm, and more to my likeing. I like the results in terms of both form and function.
