Egg-crate sleeping bag mat is the way to go. I also used a thin
closed-cell foam pad under the two layers of egg-crate on the rear seat
of my brother's 75 300D. Get them at Target or K-Mart, the ones at
Wally World are too cheesy.
Cut to fit just larger than the springs with the "points" up, then fit
another peice on top, points down, large enough to wrap around the
front edge and fold under -- it needs to stick out an inch and a half
or so -- as close to the size of the original pad as possible (you can
use the cover as a pattern).
Get a picking out needle at the craft store and sew and glue the
overlapped part down to hold shape. A chunk of thin (3/8") closed cell
foam pad underneath won't hurt, and you can use it to raise the sides,
too.
Won't be perfect, but beats sitting on the springs six ways to sunday!
