Looks great man! My wife frowned at me when I told her I got some shorts that match my houndstooth seat at car shows

Very nice. The pictures are great, but still don't "do justice" to it.

Re: Project: 1967 C10 Small Window
Top job, did you use the old foam or new foam?

Thanks a lot! Thanks the original foam was in pretty good shape but I had to replace a few areas. There wasn't enough foam overall to fill the covers like I wanted so we had to add a little on the seat back and a lot on the bottom. Thanks a lot! Thanks. I actually drove the truck to Oreilly, autozone, and some other places to apply for a job and I'll need to take some summer classes as well. Thanks! Quote:

Re: Project: 1967 C10 Small Window
Do you have any pictures of the foam repairs that you did prior to putting the new cover on? What type of foam was used?

Re: Project: 1967 C10 Small Window
Beautiful truck. I was thinking about the same seat cover for mine. How do you like it?

Re: Project: 1967 C10 Small Window
I can tell you about the foam. It came from Bowen Foam & Fabric located in Houston. David Bowen can help you, but it comes in precut lengths. On David's truck, we used a combination of 2" and 1" pink foam which I would call medium density foam. They have additional thicknesses available but we used a combination of 1 & 2". Bowen also sells a black foam in different thicknesses but I would call it high density foam and it would be used in situations where you had to fabricate your own seat with a plywood base, instead of using the factory seat spring as done on this truck. This truck was also a little different in that the original seat foam was used as a starting point, with the new foam glued over the top to fill out the brand new (and very nice) seat cover. I believe David67 referenced the supplier in an earlier post. Good luck and I would suggest leaving the seat cover out in the sun until the last minute to make it as plyable as possible.

Re: Project: 1967 C10 Small Window
Thanks for the info 62LS1. My original bench seat has been recovered once and the foam seems to be in nice shape but I plan to change the seat cover on it eventually. I see a bunch of recovered seats on here that don't look quite right and I assume it's due to inferior foam work, seat cover or installation. David's seat looks great and I hope to be able to replicate his results. Actually, my current seat cover installation looks great but the material and color wouldn't have been my first choice.
