Help with 67 bench seat

Hey guys! I am planning on redoing my stock bench seat in my 67 chevy pickup this winter and was looking for a little help. I was wondering where you guys buy your upholstery and foam for these seats. It seems just a little hard for me to find, especially since I want to go back to the stock look. Also my seat might be a little rare because it has springs in the bottom part of the bench and the foam on top of the springs. If anyone know anything about how to go about getting the right things I need, please let me know!

Thanks so much
James

I had trouble finding the pattern in my base model '67 several years ago when I replaced mine. The patterns offered by LMC, Brothers, etc are the scroll patterns, which are nice, but they were nothing like the pattern that came in my '67. After looking around a little bit, I ordered these:

They were the closest "seat covers" that I found to my pattern. The color is spot on. The only difference is the ribs are slightly wider than original and the the new ones have piping around the edge. I think they look pretty good though.

If you want to get the exact "fabric," then you can order from these guys:

I got a sample piece from them, which was correct. Although, you will have to get the covers made.

Re: Help with 67 bench seat

Thank you so much everyone for the help. I am not really looking for a seat cover though, I am looking for the actual vinyl and the foam for the seat.
