Where have you guys found is the best place to get stock seat upholstery for a '56 pickup? I'm going stock, black sides and grey tops. Thanks!

Just try any of the site vendors! They all carry them from the same manufacturer.

Thanks. I can't seem to find a place that sells the two tone upholstery for a '56, so I guess I'll just have to get solid black...

Great, thanks for those links! Though I must say that I still don't see any like what's in this truck. Maybe it was reupholstered at some point and isn't the original anyway, that's way I can't find it. I'll have to snap a pic. Thanks again!

look in the yellow pages for auto upholstery if you like what you have and want it duplicated it can probabally be done local for less than the cost of "factory correct" seat covers that you need to install yourself

The last set of upholstery I had made cost me $500, but then again it was a bit of a challenge. I guess it wouldn't hurt to look in to.
