I'm restoring a 78 GMC High Sierra and have reached the point where I am ready to replace the foam and recover the bench seat. Bought the foam and cover, then removed the old upholstery to get a surprise. Foam isn't going to work at all. After some research, I think my 78 had a 81-87 bench. Back folds forward and the foam is molded over/around the back frame. Bottom springs are a flat platform for the foam, there are cutouts for the seatbelts, etc.
