<VV> seat springs???

[Ron]

One of the front seats in my '62 wagon had a number of broken springs and on 
inquiry, a local upholstery shop said that they had a stock of replacement 
GM seat springs and could probably repair the seat OK.  I didn't get a 
chance to check it out, however, as I then had a nice set of '64 seats given 
to me and used them as they were relatively rust free.
