Does anyone have a source for new seat covers for the wider utility type buckets I have in my 71 Blazer?

Jaros44 said he got his from SMS fabrics in Oregon. You might google them.

SMS has the matrl, but you'll have to have them made up locally. cost is about 400 from SNS. I have some extra matrl. if you need it

Thanks for the info. I'm just getting started on this project so it will be a while until I get to the seats, but I am trying to source stuff that I will need.

keep in mind that if you do use SMS, their matrl is 6 rows wider than stock on the vertical plane

also, there are two differant seat bases, one is from a van I believe and sits more level

What kinda shape are your foams in?

here's some food for thought

LMC had mine built called fat boy seat or utility

Bringing back this thread, is it still the case that nobody makes a reproduction seat cover for the utility buckets? Just want to make sure.

I called LMC, based on the post by RLONG above, but they had no idea what I was asking for.

I bought the fabric(vynil) from SMS in washington state or there abouts. Gave the stuff to my upholsterer and had him make them up...

They both expanded foam and non-expanded, in my eye the non-expanded seemed to match the grain better

Dont think you will find ready made seat covers for the utility seats
