I suspect that many of you suffer from multiple hobbies like myself. My newest "winter hobby" is leathercraft. I have made a couple of leather projects before and I now am confident that I can tackle a leather bench seat for my pickup. I hope that others who share an interest in leather working will chime in and show off their handy work also.

As you can see from the photo below, the old cover is shot. I could buy any of the replacement covers available for anywhere between $150 and $400. I also could take it to a shop beginning at $850.

The process is as follows:

1. Remove old seat from truck and pull the sliding tracks off.
2. Cut all of the hog rings holding the old cover on.

On a side note, you may consider gloves because all the little rings under the seat are sharp. When I got done it looked like I spent the day pruning roses.
