I don't think it will ever hold up as good as leather or vinyl, but if you are doing a show truck like me it will be fine. A lot cheaper than leather.

Re: Lets see those Blazer Interiors

Looks great.

How's the rear bench for comfort being only inches off the floor though?

yeah that's the obvious downside huh.
to be honest with you, i don't plan on sitting back there.
i did this conversion at the request of my wife for the kids.
i've got little ones (3yrs and 5yrs) so they fit great.
she wanted them to have 3 point belts and this was what i came up with.
there were other ways to arrive at the endpoint, but i have to admit i wanted new leather

my wife did sit back there last night and she said it wasn't uncomfortable though.

Re: Lets see those Blazer Interiors

What did you do about the seat belts up front? Did you keep the two pointers or did you convert to three point?

yep, kept the 2 pointers for now.

i'm going to put a roll bar in soon and i'm trying to figure out if i can weld a tab on the roll bar directly behind the seats to run 3 point belts.

does that sound reasonable?
anybody happen to know someone who has put in 3 point belts that way?
