My 67 bucket were near eaten!
Some rat, weazel, skunk or racoon or some other critter got into my parts stash and nearly ate my 67 bucket seats..that buggers on my hit list. It destroyed the whole lower console cushion...and started on the upper pad and driver seat. Making a den from my bucket..well...
 I might sell this set in a few weeks.

New foam & new covers=new seats. They will be a lot better when you replace all of that. You can never do a good job of "fixing" the old stuff, anyway.
You still might want to get that rascal out of there before you redo the seats.

Let me tell you...I have seen much worse...LOL! PICKMUP is right, new foam and covers are nice. Have the frame sand blasted and powder coated while you are at it.

at least it didn't get into your truck and chew up all the wiring, then make a home for itself in your ac ducts, reproduce, and then die in there, where the hot summer sped up the decomposition of the remains and stink up the cab.

Those pics make me cry, why couldn't they pick on a regular bench seat? To make you feel slightly better my neighbor has a 64 corvette that he bought new, has never seen rain or a body shop. A very clean original unrestored car, that was in storage when a raccoon ate through the rag top and literally destroyed the interior..... needless to say he now hunts raccons in his spare time with his brand new coon dog

I did have a dead cat on the seat in the back of my blazer at one time after a winter in a buddies garage...not pleasent after the spring thaw when I went to go get it. Good thing I could peel the seat cover off.
