Just got these for FREE I was told they came out of a chevy. The center seat is just unbolted.

Price was right. Now decide how you want to restore them. Looks like you may need some foam but when you are finished you should have close to what a bench would run you. Plus personally "buddys" cured that feeling you get from our traditional bench seats after 3 hrs of driving. So win win for you. Enjoy them and let us know your intent and final outcome.

Can anyone tell me if all these were vinyl covered from the factory or was cloth an option?

They all came in vinyl, but some folks have them recovered with cloth in them. That is about $4-500 dollar score... I would highly recommend "Truckseats" on this forum for your covers. They do an awesome job and are reasonable.

Here are mine that I had "Truckseats" make covers for. I got the idea of the two tone green from the set shown on post #46 of this thread.

I could be wrong, but from the angle of the photo :uhmk: the frame looks a little narrow, like it could maybe a dodge frame, again I hope I'm wrong.

It's a Chevy frame. The Dodge did not have the center support bracket ;)

There is a set out of a dodge on ebay for $869.00 , I've reupholstered 3 sets for my neighbor and he paid $850.00 for 1 and a $1,000.00 for another ! With bad covers on them ! Around here in east TN they sell for big money in any condition , They do sit low in the truck and may not work so well for the shorter guy's , I'll post some pics of my neighbors seats later today .

That makes 2 of us.

If I were to order foam and covers exactly what year range are we talking about here with my seat?
