I've tried different types of foam and never found a really comfortable set up yet. Of course it depends a lot on how you intend to drive your truck and how good the roads are. If you plan to do any amount of rough road or off road driving you will be surprised (or not) by how often your bottom will bottom out the springs or foam. If your spring bases are really tired or rusted and all you can get is foam then try layers with a soft 1-2" on top and 4" of really firm under.

Don't forget the back padding and particularly watch the bottom bar of the back, on one of the trucks I didn't get enough padding between me and the bar and a couple of hours of off roading I had worn the skin on my back raw.

Has anybody successfully replaced the springs in the seat bottoms?

Of course I also suspect that our generation may be harder on seats then guys who drove these trucks originally. We probably weigh a little more.
