TMI seats - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I would like to get a feel for us 60-66 guys that would be interested in TMI starting to make seat covers for us. They make a high quality seat for many other vehicles but not trucks currently. I do not work for or represent them, I am just trying to get a feel for the market as I have contacted them concerning a custom sport bench for myself, and thought it be cool if they offered a seat for everyone. thanks and here is a link to their current products so you can get a feel for them

There prices for foam and factory covers for the cars are not bad. Adding one more source for quality truck stuff is always good.

What kind of cover are you looking for? I just had a 66 deluxe one made and it came out good. i posted the pics here, and said he'd make more, but no one seemed interested...

TMI made it? I personally am not interested in stock appearance per say but had the idea to see if they start producing one.

FWIW, back when I had a bench seat, I installed the square insert style covers made by Seatz Manufacturing. Not stock at all, but it was a high quality, beautifully made item. The seat now resides in the F250 of my son, and the seat and cover still look like the day I installed them. Way cheaper than an upholstery shop if you want something of a quality upgrade for a modest investment.

I had a local guy do mine

I recieved a reply from TMI saying they would not even attempt my request for the sport bench seat, but would be delving into classic truck seats late 15'

Beautiful seat, man! Looks like money well spent. If I were local, I'd for sure have him do a cover for my truck.
