Great subject! my 2 cents echos previous answers. A quality seat is nice,
but not really needed.

Exercise to strengthen the back is important. The best I've found is leg lifts.
Lie on your back on the floor. A pillow under your head. Wear your heaviest
boots.

Lift your legs a few inches off the floor while keeping your head down. A big strain
until you get built up. Start with what is bearable and gradually add more time.

You should be doing quite well if you can hold for 2 minutes.

The cushion XYZ mentioned is EXACTLY right on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With it, you can drive ANYTHING!!! I deliver trucks that have sometimes the crudest
upright literal bench seats, and this portable mini recaro (in my mind) goes with me
every where.

Works great on old 50's, 60's cars too.

Available at any chiropractor place, and at many stores for about $35-40.

Help your back, and it'll serve you well.
