Need seat pictures please

[Dmz1241]

Another thread showed this as being a seat out of a 1961. Id like to potentially get something like this. Thanks to whoever initially posted that pic!

my experience with Doug and company was less than pleasant to say the least as well as some others have stated likewise, but some say they fared alright with them..

brief run down of over a year of hair pulling frustration http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...27&postcount=6

I'd love to help out the folks looking for a deluxe seat cover but I'm guarding this one with my life and not a chance in Hades I'd pull it off for anything..

so pictures or measurements would not be a problem if they would help..

good luck!

So I live less than 100 miles from SMS. Maybe I'd have better luck dealing with them in person? Also, do you happen to know what fabric specifically I'd be looking for, for my '66? It looks like they tried to throw several incorrect samples your way. I'd want to go into it armed and ready.

Yepper, turned out better than I could have imagined

Nice.

Looks good RV, gives me ideas for my next build. Captain, he actually took it easy on me. Trying to get his name out there and loved my truck.

I want to cut a hole in the middle to put a s/s cup holder in it. I just dont have the b.... to do it yet. The seat was $1200

[Gunnin4ya]

Great seat for that price.

just for information sake only-i just recieved a quote from sms with what they consider the factory correct materials for a 65 deluxe seat cover. it is the fawn looking vinyl with the fabric weave looking seat bottoms and the white stripe on top.dont know if the stripe is welded but think it is sewn. i asked them if they would sew me a cover also (via email) and they sent me a sample sheet with two small bits of the materials and a picture of a sewn seat (maybe a member here?) anyway they want 675 if iam remembering right, for the seat cover sewn up and ready to install. this is obviously both bottom of bench and back of seat. ill post pics later when i get home. i thought it was a bit high, and it is compared to a cheapy lmc or bulk made cover but my local shops (there are 2) both wanted 650 without material but included some foam and what not. so even though it is as much as 3x as exspensive as cheap its about in the middle for custom. iam going to do it and see? i recieved another quote for my 49 ford two door coupe-with headliner. door panels ect..and front and back bench seats-12,500 . so only having one seat and some carpet is easy i guess!

you can read about my fiasco with those folks around the board but let me emphasize this little nugget..

they repeatedly sent my upholsterer SIMILAR pattern material for the center panels after sending me the actual correct sample in the beginning..

see post above of a remnant of the actual correct material it took me over a year to get from them..

and yes, the ivory stripe is sewn in separately..

good luck!

here it is finally installed;

Here's mine for variety. I bought the seat so long ago, I don't know anything about it. It is nice to have the center armrest & storage available if I want to use it.
