I currently have a stock bench seat that needs to be recovered. I would like to keep it basically stock but I sure would appreciate seeing pics of what you have done!

johnnyp · 07-02-2002, 11:34 AM

Here's new original houndstooth bench covers. Got them from Jim Carter - look and fit identical to originals.

KP1972 · 07-02-2002, 11:46 AM

Does Jim Carter have a website?

Don't panic when you see the price - they are excellent quality.

mtdave2 · 07-03-2002, 07:04 PM

here is my new seat =) and floor... good stuff, worth the money... thanks gmcpaul =)

btw, hounds tooth kicks major a##!

KP1972 · 07-03-2002, 07:18 PM

Hey MtDave-- How are the water levels near where you are?
Your seats look great. I am doing my interior in blue and wonder if your seat colors would match or clash. Does GMCPaul send out color swatches???

mtdave2 · 07-03-2002, 07:44 PM

things are fine at my place.. just have a few small leaks to fix , and i need to reroute my gutters, dont know what they guy who put them in was thinking....... lol they empty at a place that just sends the water back to the house!

dont know about the colors.. i know there are 2 blue colors a bright blue, and blue. i have the blue,,, i guess.. lol ask paul! but i would recomend the hounds tooth. really good quality and feel.

JHickson6 · 07-03-2002, 07:57 PM

sorry i'm way the hell of topic but i want to know mtdave2 how do you post more than one pic at a time? Where does the file have to be? On the Desktop? are you supposed to use '[img].....[/img] tags or what?

Thanks

mtdave2 · 07-03-2002, 08:00 PM

im linking from my host page, the photo must be uploaded someplace on the web. then using the [ img]address[ /img] format . (no spaces after the [) i wanted a pict with more detail than the board alows you to up load.

to get more than one just hit enter and a new line.

mtdave2 · 07-03-2002, 08:52 PM

the only problem with a new seat is the darn seat belts look dirty now! i swear they were not before!

photoglg · 07-03-2002, 11:39 PM

Mine came from Brothers thay are for the 71-72 houndstooth, they worked on my 69

KP1972 · 07-04-2002, 06:08 AM

Very Nice! The seats look great and I like how you did your glove box door, too.

Hey mtdave, I washed my black seat belts in Ivory liquid and water in a bucket and had to rinse the bucket THREE times because the water kept turning BROWN. oooooh YUCK!!!!

OH and Dave where is your turn signal stalk????

67_chevy_67 · 07-04-2002, 04:49 PM

if u know any one with a 67 chev c-10 shortbox tell them to email me at rylan_hodge@hotmail.com

PitterPats72 · 07-04-2002, 07:03 PM

MtDave:

The interior (door panels and color) of your truck looks just like mine. I'm going to have to invest next year in a set of those seat covers next year from Paul.

Looks good

mtdave2 · 07-04-2002, 11:49 PM

i had been thinking about it for a year. had them old standard seatcovers on there. looked ok but not great. the $225 kept me from odering the nice stuff. i now know its worth it..

any truck i get im putting in one of those rubber floor mats and a set of hounds tooth seatcovers. its amazing the differance that will do for your interior.

lets see some more picts! diff colors?!!!

*Gee_Emm* · 07-05-2002, 12:40 AM

Here is mine, just for comparison

Longhorn Man · 07-05-2002, 01:18 AM

flash back to '69 there.
that int makes me sick.

Brad · 07-05-2002, 01:53 PM

Damn photoglg, maybe tmi, but that interior gives me a hard-on! LOL.
Seems like somewhere I once saw a beautiful woman wearing a houndstooth, strapless dress and that photo brings back very vague memories...

Gee_Emm, I love that interior-I saved that pic months ago when I first saw it.

67_chevy_67 · 07-05-2002, 03:30 PM

has anyone seen anything done in all leather

**PICKMUP** · 07-07-2002, 10:44 PM

These are 2" cloth pleats with vinyl. Brown is not the best color! The seat covers, door panel covers, dash pad covers & handle donuts sell for $300 for the set.

*Gee_Emm* · 07-07-2002, 10:51 PM

**PICKMUP** · 07-07-2002, 10:57 PM

Thanks for turning that pic around. I was getting dizzy trying to look at that.
Another nice cover is always the stock Cheyenne with scroll pattern & pleats , if you like all vinyl.

**PICKMUP** · 07-07-2002, 11:10 PM

The GM seats in the '90s were really comfortable, fit good in our trucks, and had some top quality upholstery & molded pleats that really stand up over time...bench & buckets. The problem is finding nice clean ones, as they are getting older now w/high mileage/wear. A customer of mine just had a set of these recovered in black leather. No pleats. Actually looks a little "plain", if that is possible in leather.
OK...I'll stop now! I'm running out of trucks to photograph.

KP1972 · 07-08-2002, 11:27 AM

Has anyone done anything as far as custom upholstery???
