Rick's Custom Upholstery, Columbia, TN - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

These guys are great! I had a custom set of 1968 Anniversary Gold Buddy Bucket covers made by them. The workmanship was excellent and they provided covers with the "extra fabric" around the hinge that many restorers are complaining "does not come on other replacement covers". I had great service and Donna (upholster2@gmail.com) is excellent to work with.

PRICES: I got a great "DISCOUNT" price on my buddy bucket covers since I sent them patterns that they needed. This was the first set of buddy buckets they had done. This was in December 2007. I paid $265 for mine which included my $100 discount. I will have to pay $365 next time which is still a GREAT DEAL! I will be buying a second set from them this year.

I hope this has not created any confusion or "bad will" with Rick's if you have asked for quotes from them and were wondering why the price was higher than the $265 I mentioned last year....NOW I KNOW WHY! They are a great vendor and I will go back to them again...and again!

BTW...the spot not buddy bucket in the second pic is my camera...not on the uphosltery...LOL!

...and don't tip them forward or it will pull the material out in the corners.

I have a theory on this. If you reattach the long plastic strips to the material as it was originally designed...you should be able to tilt them forward and back without pulling the material out. The plastic is anchored to the lower back of the seat but slides on the upper back under the cover. I have just tucked mine in on the Longhorn set but intend to experiment with this on my other seats before reattaching the gray piece shown in the pictures below.
