Ehhh, It'll happen THe way you want!!!

Too many good possibilities with all the good folks here.

High Threequarter,
you are absolutly right. I was not aware until I read this thread.

But let say I can live with them, anyway a wonderful seat- and I believe now all other 50. anniversary trucks have a wrong pattern :-)!!

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

Maybe try this address, i got yesterday a fast answer:

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

I emailed SMS on the weekend so see if my seat covers were enroute. Here is the response I received this morning.

We are still waiting on the new roll of material to come in from the mill, unfortunately we didn’t have enough in stock to do all the covers we had orders for.



I guess I will continue to wait.....

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

Regarding the wrong pattern:
SMS shows a excellent service. They advised a change for free, Unfortunatly I have build in already and have not anymore the old one,

Therefore they offer to send the material and I can organize a local service.

Great!:metal:

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

That’s good customer service!

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

My covers arrived from SMS. I was only expecting one package, but BOTH showed up :)
I ordered Fawn for my '68 Utility, and had sent back a 50th set due to incorrect pattern and both look amazing.
The net, I'm very pleased with SMS, no only in the quality of the upholstery, but their customer service as well. I had my 50th covers for close to a year before I realized the pattern was incorrect and they did not hesitate at all to take them back. Very happy :)

I know some have asked for photos of the Fawn covers, I'll get some today and post shortly.

Update from SMS. Fabric is in, they hope to ship in October.....

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

Another update after asking SMS

The cloth is still being made, I will check to see when it will be ready. I will be back to you the first of next week.

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

Is anyone else still waiting for 50th covers from SMS?

Ordered and PAID May 6

June 16 “Will be a few months.”

July 20 “We are still waiting on the new roll of material”

Sep 18 “Almost ready, will be an October delivery”

Nov 6 “The cloth is still being made”

Dec 17 “ suppose to be here right after the holiday’s”

Feb 2 “The material will be here in the next couple of weeks”


I am getting frustrated.......

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

I’m not surprised. I called several times and left 3 messages back when they were running their special. A month later after the discount expired they called me back asking if I wanted to order. I declined. Glad I did after seeing your post. I think they put out a good product but are probably struggling getting help to run the operation or maybe they are just that busy. Hope you get it soon.

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

Saga Continues

May 11 "I know the material came in, let me check and see when the covers will be done."

June 9 "The seat cover supervisor never got back to me. I will check with him again."


I really want my seat cover. I wanted it a year ago.

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

Man that’s ridiculous. I hope you eventually get it. Sooner than later. Might be quicker to just ask for the fabric and have a local upholstery company make them for you. Good luck.

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

This month's reply from SMS on my inquiry to when I may get the cover I ordered in May 2020.


"I talked to production and you’re covers will be shipping in the next two weeks."

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

15 months after ordering snd paying for my seat cover IT ARRIVED!

Time to start figuring out how to install it.

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

I’m not believing you until I see pictures!!!

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

I think I will wait until winter now when the truck is parked to recover the seat.

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

Glad to hear it finally arrived. That’s a long time to wait.

Truck is parked for the winter. Time to install the seat cover.

Bottom went well.

But it was missing some of the clips. I needed to rob the clips from the top held to make it work. Now I am trying to track down more clips.

That is beautiful!!

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

Yes, job well done!!!

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

Thanks

Top was a pretty tight fight. I ended up earning the whole seat up in the furnace toom(warmest room in the house) then with the assistance of my wife we pulled it on.

I happy with how it looks.

I didn’t find more clips but the SMS cover has canvas sewn on for hog rings. So I used more hog rings to supplement the missing clips.

I also installed the 2” lower FCF brackets. I sit lower! I am 6’3” so ever inch helps. I will look into sliding the column forward now to give some steering wheel to belly room. I hadn’t before because I had read that it just pushes the wheel down into your legs.
