Most dealers carry the bench houndstooth in blue. 5 years ago, I bought Blue houndstooth bucket covers from Grays in North Carolina. They didn't fit all that well. I recently bought black bucket covers in houndstooth from KYclassics and they fit and look real nice. You can try----Mothertruckers, Kingparts, GMC Paul, CarandTruckshop in Calif, KYClassics, etc. I've seen prices from $185. to $325. In reality, many of the dealers buy from the same few wholesale suppliers and uplift according to their needs. Before you decide, if you are going to do the job yourself (not all that hard), be sure to buy new hogrings and hogring pliers. It makes the job go a lot easier. Also carefully check the springs under the seat for breaks-espically on the ends where we swing out big butts in and out-don't want to recover only to find a broken spring after the fact.

I bought a set of houndstooth seat covers from Jim Carter . The fit and quality are great. They do carry the blue houndstooth. The price is $254.00.

I had an upholstery ship install them and they also put in new springs on the ends. Charged me $60 which I thought was well worth the price for the new springs, steaming out the creases and installing the covers
