Opinions on PUI upholstery - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Have a blue Cheyenne Super that needs a new blue houndstooth bench seat cover. Looking for input on the PUI seat covers.

I've used ACME bench seat upholstery(sold by Rockauto.com and stockinteriors.com)and was disappointed with how thin the material was and the strength of the stitching. I've also used Truck World seat covers(sold here by Truck Seats) and was definitely impressed with the materials and stitching. However, I've never used a PUI seat cover. Any input would be appreciated.

I would go with Truck World but if not PUI would be the next best IMO.

I've used both. PUI is great, no complaints.

PUI doesn't handle weather exposure very well, if your going for show and kept under cover, drive occasionally. Then, that is a good brand. If you are using as a daily driver, Truck World brand or go to a local upholstery shop and have one stitched up that can handle the everyday grind and weather. My truck world front covers in my DD blazer has lasted 6 years no issues, but, starting to show wear. My PUI cover, on the rear blazer seat lasted two years, before it faded, cracked and HT insert started disintegrating.
