Are you looking for seats for your truck?
Check this place out. Has anyone used them? I think their split bench is pretty nice looking and they use factory mounting.

Re: Are you looking for seats for your truck?
i looked at them for different projects in the past but figured that with thier parts and shipping and custom upholstery i could save $1000-$1500 by taking my tape measure and hitting the junkyards to find a suitable core for the projects// but if you don't mind dumping in the neighborhood of $2000 for a seat they do have nice products

Re: Are you looking for seats for your truck?
Not sure where you came up with $2K. Here in AZ, I can get them covered in leather for about $2-300 for a total of maybe $1100 for a seat that is a direct bolt in vs spending 2-3 hours in junkyard, 2-3 hours to fab something up which to me equals about $3-400 worth of my time + $4-700 for some nice seats. Comes out about the same with less work for me.
Anyway, just depends on how mechanically inclined you are, tools, time, etc. For some of us it just makes sense to spend a little extra rather than trying to rig something that we may not be happy with in the end. JMO

Re: Are you looking for seats for your truck?
came up with 2K for a seat from GLIDE quotes on thier seat foam and cover sets// thier cost for frame and foam DELIVERED is a thousand dollars alone // please show pictures of the quality of your $100 seat covers
any when figuring how much you're paying dont forget un wrapping and assembling($$$time) going to upholstery shop($$$TIME) picking out and ordering materials($$TIME) okl'ing materials when they come in ($$TIME) on the phone listening to deadline excuses($$TIME) and going to pickup seats ($$TIME) so yeah for what you expect for your time i guess that 2Kfigure was a real loball estimate
