Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
Is a crew cab rear bench the same as the front - difference being one is on a sliding track the other is fixed mount? Do the mounts and tracks interchange between seat bases?

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
Sorry I must have missed this. I get my dye and prep materials from USA1 Industries, and yes they have all the correct OEM colors that match.

Actually GMC Seats are slightly different. They have that little extra chrome piece, were the seat hinge is. Here are two pics of 73-80 seats. 1st pic is a Chevy 2nd pic is a GMC

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
I can always ship you one. I have probably shipped at least a dozen out to CA.

The shipping's a killer for me, Tina. But I do appreciate the quality of your work. Going to try to recover it myself, and depending how that turns out, you might still be hearing from me.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
I know it's not really related to your work but I'm wondering if you can provide some input? I was going to order a seat cover and sun visors from USA1 to match the tan seatbelts I got from SeatBeltStore.com but they want $238 dollars for shipping. What's my next best bet? Do you recommend the 38-2293-TN from LMC? Or should I look at a different supplier? It's for a mid-80's tilt seat.

A long time ago, I started off using covers made by ACME. These are supplied to LMC, Classic Industries and a few other online vendors. I didn’t take very long to realize these covers are not well made, and they would either be too big, which would leave lots of wrinkles. Or too small, then they would rip.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
There was someone else that I know, is running into that same issue. He lives in Canada and the shipping was crazy.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
That's crazy. No real good reason for it other than "they can." I guess if you're somewhat close to the border and know someone in the US, maybe have it shipped to them....

Thanks for the input from both of you. I'm still considering rolling the dice with LMC but I'll give it some more thought.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
Sure, you can be my friend. I’ll do that for you. It will probably save you at least $100. When I get things from USA1, the shipping average is about $25-$30. Then whatever it would be for me to ship to you. $50 at the most maybe.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
They didn't start out that clean. It took some soaking, scrubbing and cleaning. That is a service that I'm offering now, seatbelt restoration. Take them out and send them to me, I'll get them looking good again.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
how do you prep your plastic pieces for dying. It seems when I spay a piece it will scape off the next day with your finger nails. I think I am putting it on with thin coats maybe I have to go thinner. any thoughts/?
