Looking for some insight into whether or not this is a factory front bench seat. It looks very similar to other bench seats that I have seen, but the driver side mounting bracket doesn't line up with the rear hole.

I will probably end up selling it, but I want to know what I'm working with first.

Thanks!

Looks like every EB front bench I've ever had - eight of them over the years.

Thanks for the replies!

Ford Man, I haven't thought about pricing yet. Send me a pm if you'd like to make an offer or discuss further.

Cool upholstery! Is your body code 197, 1 representing a bench seat. If it's a 6 or a 7 with bucket seat(s), that might explain the hole not matching issue.

Haha I'm glad someone likes the upholstery. Most people haven't been crazy about the bright yellow with black. Body code is 3. Is that front buckets with parchment?

Most automotive upholstery shops can make you new springs. They typically have hardened wire they bend to match any configuration. I've never heard of anyone offering factory seat springs. Try the old shops that have been around a long time - they will be your best source. Good luck.
