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

I am wanting to cherry out the interior of my truck, and am having trouble finding seats.
I was thinking about putting in some nice black leather, power seats, but am having a hard time finding something I like that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

What is the average cost I should expect to pay to have seats reupholstered? I know there are extremes,but am trying to set a budget for seats.

I have a real nice stock bench seat in my truck right now, but really want buckets and a console!!

Any advice, or prices I might expect to pay would be greatly appreciated!! (The wife likes firm numbers...)

I might be wrong but I think a refurbished set of buckets with console will cost about $600 and on up to $900. Also which style of buckets do you like?

The seats dont have to be from our trucks. I have been looking at seats out of newer cars and trucks.
Here is a link to a seat I am watching.

Dano, those are nice, I was looking earlier to a Chrysler sebring convertible, the seats in these cars got builtin seatbelts, can't really know price on these as they were leather and power (and it was the boss's car ;-) )

Another ones that I also like are from VW Jettas and Volvos, good luck in your hunt and let us know what you decide to use.

Just had my '72 bench seat recovered (non factory) with cloth on the seat and back and naugahyde on the back and seat edge with new foam for $200
