Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
New webbing or cleaning and dying the seatbelts?
They look great either way.

Cleaning and dyeing. I have more seatbelts that I have done on my build thread. I have said I probably ought to start a new thread for the seatbelts. But I’ve been putting them on the Build Thread.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
The 74 should look like the seatbelts above. Just pull the plastic up off the retractor. You can't actually remove it, but I extend the belt completely out and clamp it, so it won't retract back. Then you can move the casing back and forth the length of the belt to clean.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
Got a couple of core seats today. They are 77-80 Crew Cab, front & rear seats. Both tilting seats. Time to start stripping to restore.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
When they restored my truck they didn't put the holes in the seat for the seat belts. Is there anything I can do?
The belts are behind the seat but they won't reach far enough to grab. ![]() Last edited by 85/Silverado; 07-07-2020 at 07:17 AM. |

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
The seat would have to come back out. The seat back would have to be separated from the seat bottom. Then the cover needs to be removed, holes cut and the bezels installed. The bezels are nearly impossible to install with the cover on the seat. I’m doing a seat right now, here’s a pic.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
Can you get those seatbelt passthrough tubes as new parts or are you refurbishing them?
If it's a trade secret I'll just shut up. LOL

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
No your fine. I restore the OEM parts when I have the color that I need for the seat. If not, then new parts are available, and then those get dyed to the color needed.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
I did these 2 Charcoal Velour seats for a customer that has a CrewCab. Fully restored frames, tracks for the front and rear brackets for the back.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
The 2 Crew Cab Seats from the above post, got loaded up for a meet. Shipping both seats, even separately, was going going to be awfully expensive. So for half that amount, the customer paid to have them delivered half way, which was a 8hr round trip. So I hired my Parents to do the drive. They are visiting from Florida and bored out of their minds lol.
