How much to recover seats in leather? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

How much and where would be a good place to have some bucket seats re-covered in tan and black leather. Plus a console. The seats are perfect but I want the leather.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks Bowtiefreak

check out the local yellow pages, the price will depend on the grade and type of leather selected i'd expect a mid-grade leather would cost you about $500 to cover the 2 lo-back buckets

When I bought my new truck, ( a 350 ford superduty) it had fabric seats, I had the dealership send it out and had the seats ( extended cab) redone in leather. It cost me $900.00. I'm going to go leather in my 70, but I'm looking at some after market sporttruck seats. I seen a set in Reno, at Summit for $900.00. buckets with center console. I have an Erickson, Buckets with center console in it now, But I think it's going to cost almost the same to have it re-covered in leather as buying the new ones.

to get my lincoln seats recovered it was going to cost me in the neighborhood of 1500-2000 dollars for genuine leather, then for vinyl it would have costed me about 800-1000 dollars. So i just decided to get some new seats in a little while.

Here are the lincoln seats that need to be recovered.

I think cdowns has it about right on covering two low back buckets. My shop quoted me $450,but he gives me a little break on price.
