With the seat like that you should be smiling from the time you climb in it till the time you climb out . My old M50A2 water truck has a piece of foam that sits on top of plywood, no suspension and I spend close to 12 hours a day in that on fires, I know that's my own fault, I definitely need...

Sorry I couldn't be more help to you on this, I got a feeling the problem is simpler than it seems, hope that works out .
