Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration

By my count there 12 major listing wires in a bucket seat cover:

4 straight edge wires in the seat back
1 large wrap around edge wire and 1 straight edge wire in the seat bottom
2 "U-shaped" (1 front and 1 back) for the back insert detail
2 straight (top) and 2 "wavey"(bottom) wires for the seat bottom insert detail

And there are several minor or connecting wires that connect the insert detail wires through the foam (front to back on the seat back, and top to bottom on the seat bottom).

Realistically none of these wires were reusable after breakdown and clean up of our seats. A very tedious and messy endeavor when done by hand. We also had a couple of seat springs that were no good as well. As you know the foam is "cast" to the raw metal seat frames from the factory. It's a wonder any of them survive.
