Upholstery Opinions Wanted

[tristan]

I am ready to start the re-upholstering of my front and rear seats and will also be replacing the door panels, rear side panels (I have a 71 Jimmy Custom) and the carpet. I have been shopping for replacement scroll seat covers (I already have bucket seat foams) and door panels as well as the other stuff and prices are all over the place. There is close to a $500 difference between the prices I have gotten from board vendors for the complete interior package versus those at the major catalog vendors like Classic Industries.

Are there quality differences in the brands out there or is this just the good old capitalist system at work? If anyone has a supplier recommendation beyond the usual suspects then I would like to hear about it also. I am going bone stock on the interior of my truck.
