Seat material - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone know where to buy the original style vinyl seat material? I'm thinking about adding a buddy bucket center seat between my '70 bucket seats so that both of my boys can ride with me. My seats have been upholstered in the original style vinyl (PUI), and I want to have the buddy bucket center seat upholstered to match, or at least look like it belongs there. Who's a good upholstery man on the board?

Done business with these cats just recently, and they had my vinyl and fabric for my 68. Hit them up, and I bet you will be pleased.

Thanks, I'll give them a try. Has anyone ever seen this done? Any pics? I'm curious about how it will look.

I do upholstery, and I'll add this, sometimes more than most finding the match to another material is really hard to do. Hope your able to find what your looking for. BUT if you find the material, give me a shout. I might be able to work a deal to make the covers for you.

Thanks Barry, I might just do that!

Wynne, you need to hand deliver the seat to Barry and stop and see me on the way.

Sounds like a plan David!
