Default Seat repair on 50 Ford Custom

The seat sags on the driver side on my 50 Ford Custom. Is there a company that sells a repair kit. I would like to try and fix it myself.
There is a guy here and town said he would fix it for five to six hundred. Want to see how much a lot to fix it would cost me. I believe I can do it with a lot. Just looking for some companies that sell a kit. Thanks

Think I found my problem. I have what looks like two springs loose. The seats were recovered at some point. The foam still looks good from what I can see. I need to take the seat out so I can see what's going on. I think the springs have just came loose but I am not sure what holds them in place.

I think they are wired together. Does your seat have actual individual coils?

The front seat on the '50 has zig zag springs. The rear has coils. Here's a pic of the front. If the ends came loose, doesn't look easy. If it's the couplings, maybe could be done. There are replacement springs. https://sofarehab.com.au/product/sea...h=17%22+Length
