Need opinions from the Buddy Bucket guys...

[Portmod7]

So I have some buddy buckets in my truck, minus the console. I did buy a console, but it's in rough shape and the cushions are upholstered in red. I think the covers on my seats are original, but I'm sure somebody here would know more about it than I do? They are in excellent shape, no rips, tears, or cracks anywhere. Just some discoloration here and there that really goes well with the rest of the truck.

So here's my dilemma; I want to at least put new foam in the seats to make them more comfortable and get the center console cushions rebuilt in blue to match the seats. But, no matter what, the console won't match the seats. At the very least it will be shiny new upholstery next to the aged seats. Well, I wouldn't mind just doing the whole set the same, then it will all match, and I love the look of blue-on-blue houndstooth. BUT, I feel bad about letting these good original covers go to waste, plus it would be a lot more affordable not to have to buy a complete set of covers. What do you guys think?

First off, could these really be original covers? The bottom of the foam even has "GM" molded into it. And if they are original, would there be any interest in them so I could replace them with a clear conscience? Or should I just reuse them?

And secondly, any recommendations on what to use to rebuild my seats? I love what I've seen from member Truckseats on the covers. Member Pickmup sells the American Cushion foam. Then I've also seen where members like leddzepp have had upholstery shops rebuild the seats by shaping their own foam and seem to have saved a ton of money.

I don't need show quality, but I don't want it to look like junk either. More important to me is what they feel like when I sit in them. I don't want them to be soft to where I sink in them like sitting on a couch, I want good support that is comfortable but holds you in the seat well for those fast corners... The ones I have now are so freakin soft I can't hardly stay upright even on slow corners, there's just NO support.

Everyone has an opinion, and wants something different, but I'm hoping maybe I can get a little idea of the differences between my options and maybe save some money too. Thanks guys!
