Beautiful seat :two:

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
 

Last year I did order fabric and vinyl for my 1979 GMC K25 bench seat from SMS Auto Fabric. I wanted original color/textures. They had the vinyl in stock, but the fabric took 6 months. They have a mill or access to one in Philadelphia I think. My guess is they were waiting to make a longer run of that fabric for other orders. Once I finally got it an upholstery shop stitched it up and I think it came out great. Put in new carpet at same time.

Thank you:metal:

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
 

Oh yeah!! That looks really nice. I’m happy to hear you were able to get what you wanted. I really wish they, SEM or whoever, would make more of the OEM textures. I really believe there is more of a demand for it, than they believe. I literally get asked out it all the time.
Thanks for sharing! That really is a Beautiful seat:metal:

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
 

That's the stuff! I didn't see it on their website but I'll try calling. Another part of my issue is there was a 1979 only blue and I'm thinking that's not going to make anything easier for me.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
 

do you ever come across 1973-1974 bench seats? or know of a aftermarket place to purchase from looking to swap out buckets seats for bench

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
 

Yeah I have a bunch of those posted. Like these. But I have plenty of cores to use

Being picked up, they are driving from Kanas!

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
 

The customer from Kansas arrived safely to pick up his newly restored seat. 12hr drive, one way! I dismantled the seat down, for easier transport for him.
He was pretty happy and very impressed with the restoration of the seat frames and tracks. His wife couldn’t get over how the tracks looked. She said they looked BRAND NEW, compared to the rusty & dirty ones.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
 

It was a pleasure meeting you today! Enjoy your new seat. Send me a few pics, when you get it installed, or you can post some up yourself.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
 

The people from Kansas, sent pics of the seat and seatbelts I restored for them. They got them installed last night.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
 

The pleasure was mine! been trying to catch up on my rest before installing the beautiful seat. Plus I have the dreaded loose tilt steering wheel fix, one of the worst jobs as far as I’m concerned :waah:

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
 

I have been trying to work up the courage to attempt to fix that as well...The youtube videos look a little daunting.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
 

This may help...
