Questions on seat covers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a few questions on seat covers. Mine is pretty much gone... Well it is 90% gone... Anyways I think I would like to keep the factory bench seat in the truck instead of swapping in a late model one

This truck will never be a restored truck. A refurbished one yea but not restored as my definition of restored is 100% factory correct.

Should I try and get the seat recovered? If so does it come with the padding also of does a shop have to do that?

Any late model trucks have compatible seats for my 55?

Which way would you go and why after reading my Ideas on this truck not being a restored truck..

No one ever changed their seat or their seat covers?

87 98 chevy pickup truck work well. If you get one from an x cab it should be a split one with the tilt forward for access to behind the seat.
