Old seat springs

[chromedome1935]

I'm in a similar situation but a few steps behind you. I just took my 1935 Ford pickup to the body shop for some serious metal work two replace cab back. unfortunately I cannot tell from either my original or the donor cab how the supports for the back of the seat attach to either the seat base or beneath the rear window. And of course the rear seat support itself is bent and broken. Could I trouble you by requesting a couple of detail photos that I can use for reassembly?
Thanks

I am doing a front seat bottom for my 49 convertible and the springs appear to be good but there may be a few weak ones. I am hoping to tie them together better and distribute the load. My question is what is the purpose of the burlap bags? We thought maybe to keep the coils apart and not let them wind into each other.

Frank: I've only seen the inside of a couple of springs and no burlap bags yet. The ones I've seen have had the tops securely clipped together at the big ends and the bottoms were similarly clipped to each other and the metal "frame." There appears to be no way that the middle coils could tangle since they're so much smaller than the end coils. The one spring I show here has several coils that need to be replaced and note that the center coils at the front and back have long clips tying them together.
