Bench Seat Aftermarket
I would like leather seats in my '85 step side.
Has anyone bought seats from Discount Van Truck? I may consider the OEM style seat in black leather. I have buckets with a center counsel which folds up as a center seat from a '87 K5 in black velour which I would replace. here is the link to Discount Van Truck web site: http://www.discountvantruck.com/truc...TruckSeats.htm |

Re: Bench Seat Aftermarket
No haven't seen those, but wow, those are pricey. Have you considered having yours re-upholstered in leather? Or maybe finding a bench seat out of a salvage truck and having it re-upholstered in leather?
Mine had a 90's bench seat when I bought the truck. I wanted to go with something period correct. So I found a seat for $50 at a local yard and had it re-upholstered for $200. |

I was looking at that same sight but saw this one along the way. It has a much better selection and a little less expensive. Im thinking of getting these buckets here in Black and midnight blue. |

Re: Bench Seat Aftermarket
gridironkohn, Thanks those seats look great. I like the two tone color option and 61" wide. I see they also will send color samples.
My truck is in for paint and will have it back 1st of March then replace the velour seat with leather. Thanks again |

Re: Bench Seat Aftermarket
Just this past summer, 2015. I guess I forgot to mention that I ordered all the fabric myself. I wanted to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. So I had $140 in fabric, with quite of bit of leftover. $200 was for the labor. So $340 total for the re-upholstery (not including $50 for the seat.) I had about 2 yards of the vinyl left over, and I sent it to Crusin Cupholders. They made the console with my vinyl, so it matches perfectly with the seat.
