Need advice on getting new seat foam / covers

I am getting anxious to have my seats redone this spring, and am looking for the best place to get new foam and covers. I plan on having both the buckets and rear seat done. Any help on this would be appreciated. I will also need a console, as mine was missing when I purchased the 71 Jimmy.

Re: Need advice on getting new seat foam / covers

I bought seat covers from Truckseats, here on the board. Super nice looking, and my trim guy was really happy with the quality! Check with your trim guy about the foam. My guy would rather fix the original,(as long as it isn't completely trashed) than use new aftermarket foam. He said it is kind of like using aftermarket sheetmetal. Even though it is new, it still needs to be trimmed/ added to etc., to make fit correctly.

x2... Truckseats is the guy to go to on seat covers for sure!

I just had a set done with his covers and aftermarket foam and the upholstery guy said they were a great fit together.
