62 F85 Front Seat

Hi, I'm new to finding parts for my car. So, if anyone can point me in the right direction of where I might be able to find a new front bench seat, I'd appreciate it very much!
Or
If anyone could give me a run down on how difficult repairing the seat might be? Mine is collapsed on the driver's side. I would also have to re-upholster it as well, probably re-stuff it as well.

New doesn't exist. A competent upholstery shop SHOULD repair the springs while the seat is apart for re-upholstering. I say "should" because my highly-recommended upholstery shop didn't - they just stuffed more foam in that location.

What part of the country are you in? You will have to find a good used one and that is not likely, or go to an automotive upholstery shop. I am in Indiana and I think I have a good core but would need a new cover. You would be best off to just get yours redone.

I assumed I couldn't get one new, I've been looking around for used mostly, one that i could just re-cover. I'm from Wisconsin, but as I look at the seat and do further investigation I think I might just be better off re-doing it myself. I got a few estimates and for the price I'm quoted, I think it'll just be cheaper to figure it out myself. Thanks for all your help!

When I had the seats done for my 62 wagon (not in OEM pattern or material) it was $1800 and I took them out myself and brought them to the shop. That was in 2016.
