That's all you should have.The bottom one fits inside the metal "seat riser" (or framework) on its edge, if you will, from door to door to support the lower spring.The back one goes from side to side below the rear window and is bolted right through the cab wall.Below that, you have four little vertical "slats" with countersunk holes in them near the top.They, too bolt right through the cab wall and these, with the horizontal board, form the rear support for the seat back spring.The springs, themselves, are upholstered independant of the vehicle using a system called cording.The seat cover is sewn with a tunnel around its lower edge through which a cord is drawn.This corded tunnell is pulled down into a heavy metal channel built into the base of the seat spring.The cord is pulled very tight, holding the cover edge down into the channel and tied.The metal channel is then closed with crimpers or pliers over the corded fabric edge.Seat spring is now covered.Hooks screwed to the verticle back slats hold the backrest in place.A special wire bracket built onto the seat lower spring fits into a strap steel slot built along the inside edge of the lower seat riser.You're done.Seat springs themselves are available new from various sources.
