I've restored a short mid seat frame and re wound about 50 coil seat springs..I do not advise doing this. rusty crusty springs have sanded my finger prints right off my fingers.my seat back spring frame is thrashed any one have any suggestions on finding a Donner to rob parts from. Or bare naked short seat back that is good?

Well I did have a broken trans mount at nosecone.symptoms were tight shifter when I turned right and freed up when I turned left. Also heard cluncking between reverse and 1st gear.I fixed it today.....I also found 95 percent restriction in my heatriser tube..brakeparts cleaner and 2 foot peice of emergency brake cable fixed that problem..also cleaned up and painted engine tin and intake parts. :D
