Question How to select the correct seat covers ?

I have a nice set of bucket seats that I am going to put in my truck.

I have NO IDEA what they came out of. Not a Chevy truck, for sure.

How can I order seat covers that will fit properly?

Everything on ebay seems to be vehicle specific- info I don't have.

Are there seat covers that you order by size/measurements and style instead of by application?

Where would I look for those?

Thanks,

Re: How to select the correct seat covers ?

Pre-made seat covers are model specific replicas.For all other applications you need to go to and upholstery shop and have them made.They can do anything.But,out of box you need to cover with what came on that seat,if something is reproduced.Only the most commonly collected vehicles in the most desireable models/options are reproduced.For instance,you can`t just go out and buy a cover for a standard 67/72 bench seat,utility seats(Blazer/Panel),or standard Blazer buckets.

Re: How to select the correct seat covers ?

you can go to an upholstery shop with a picture of what you want your seats to look like then pick out the fabric you want leave the seats then come back and pick them up// i've found this to be a very reasonable way to get it done
