$250 seems reasonable to have original style material. plus I'd rather install them myself, this way everything is done to my liking, Foam removal, complete painting of frame and springs, Ect. In my neck of the woods, most of this type of work is done by non American people, so I'd rather do it myself and save the aggravation of a pretty outside, but inferior inside restoration

OUCH!!!! I do appreciate the advice and input.In my area we are talking $450 up for a shop and its one of those things that just helps to quickly get to where its cheaper to buy a truck already done. I always bargain shop on everything part of my nature maybe.
Thank you !!!!!!!

I don't want to derail the thread too much here, but when one wants to paint the frame and springs, what prep work is necessary?
