Re: Seat upholstery

C.A.R.S. is the best I`ve seen.Whatever you do,don`t go with the LMC(whoever makes theirs)Economy covers.They are thin and too small to fit properly.

Re: Seat upholstery

I have been very happy with the upholstery I got from Kennys. Good fit and quality for $200 for houndstooth.

Re: Seat upholstery

Kenny's Trucks. Very reputable parts dealer from OK. You'll see him at the swap meets in the Southwest part of the country. I've bought lots of things from him over the years. Googlize "Kenny's trucks" and you'll get his website.

Fireside, Your seats look awesome. Where did you get your houndstooth seat
cover from? I want to go with a black with red houndstooth cover.

Thanks. I like them. :) I had a local guy make them for me. He had a roll of the original green houndstooth. I was going to buy them from Mothertruckers, but he said 3 months so I had a local guy do it in 6 weeks. Not much help, sorry.

Re: Seat upholstery

unless you need "factory correct" stuff a local upholstery shop can do a seat with your choice of materials ,colors and textures installed with needed foam bolstering usually for less than the cost of the "factory correct" covers alone that you still have to install yourself or pay to have installed they can also come very close to the factory look if that's what you want
