Got my seat reupholstered... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

DrtyJack75 · 09-15-2008, 11:52 AM

now just gotta get it back in truck....oh and get it running!

I wanted a 89ish Chevy pick up seat w/arm rest but they wanted $400 so I said....I dont need no stinkin armrest!!

what ya'll think?

thirdstreettito · 09-15-2008, 12:03 PM

Looks great man! Any chance you'll tell us the cost?

Sinister · 09-15-2008, 12:04 PM

That looks sweet.

**steelhorse** · 09-15-2008, 12:18 PM

Is that the original seat?

DrtyJack75 · 09-15-2008, 12:24 PM

$350.

they replaced the foam, cleaned up the lower brackets and painted..

yes it's the original seat!

my door panels are next...I dont want to screw them in like the OEM, so their going to put the new push in clips. Just gotta get my truck over there so they can measure everything up...

$100 for each door panel.

big_al_71 · 09-15-2008, 12:37 PM

looks great!!!!

jholley · 09-15-2008, 01:21 PM

Wow! that looks awesome. Good price too considering what the stock covers cost.

70rs/ss · 09-15-2008, 02:36 PM

I had a seat similar to that in my 96 Burb, i always thought it would be perfect for my "old" truck since it had the lumbar support. So, this is an "old" seat with new foam?? I'd do that in a second to my seat and the price is awesome too!

noteron · 09-15-2008, 03:11 PM

That seat looks really good. Where did you get the seat foam from?

**PICKMUP** · 09-15-2008, 03:19 PM

Let us know if that thick back moves you too close to the steering wheel.

jkaylor68gmc · 09-15-2008, 03:45 PM

turned out nice and that price is a deal!!! I need to get the one in the 68 done, I love yours!

I paid about 1K to get my seat recovered, that is a deal.

72BlckButy · 09-15-2008, 03:51 PM

Wow... that is nice!

**Yukon Jack** · 09-15-2008, 03:55 PM

Pretty nice!

Chevyman680063 · 09-15-2008, 04:48 PM

That looks nice and comfortable.

DrtyJack75 · 09-15-2008, 07:01 PM

very comfortable...i was concerned with how thick the back is but I guess it's to late for that now! haha

I forgot to mention, it's NOT REAL leather...but Im pretty picky and it's pretty close.

Real leather would of been $600 for the leather so that probably would of taken it up around the $1k Jkaylor68 paid....

Pillowy Soft!!

CG · 09-16-2008, 01:36 AM

That seat would look nice in the living room in front of a TV. Sure looks comfy.

thirdstreettito · 09-16-2008, 07:40 AM

Wow! Great deal on the seat and panels!

**70cst** · 09-16-2008, 07:57 AM
