I ordered the 73-80 bench seam foam and tan seat cover from LMC, and today I started stripping down the seatback.
When I unboxed the foam I found that the foam for the seatback was three pieces - the main cushion and an add-on piece for each end. Called LMC and they said that the added pieces were probably there in case you needed them to fill out the upholstery, but I could tell they were just guessing. Then I measured the old vs. new foam, and you definitely need those two pieces to get the seatback to the right length. Those added pieces also seem to be a little more firm than the rest of the seatback.
It's just strange that there are no directions, so I thought someone else might have gone through the same installation. Picture below shows what I am talking about.
