Well to refresh your memories, a few weeks ago I couldn't make up my mind, on which Houndstooth seat covers to use on my blue Cheyenne, the big pleat cover versus small pleat covers, here is the outcome

Keith, I've owned about 15 sets, and only had two reupholstered, a few times I've been lucky and found the right colors.

C/10 King · 08-08-2011, 11:47 PM

Here's the finished product, special thanks to by nephew Romart0825, for hooking me up with his upholstery guy.

**KevsClassics** · 08-09-2011, 01:48 AM

Looks good.

Thanks Kevin, the steering wheel is next to be changed.

19seventeeCustom · 08-09-2011, 10:17 AM

beautiful truck.

What wheel are you going with?

Imo, thats the only little tidbit left to change that is not quite right with the interior.

I haven't really found one yet, and I totally agree with you, this wheel got's to go! (Yuk)

big_al_71 · 08-09-2011, 11:13 AM

I will be watching to see what steering wheel you go with as I have the same 90's steering wheel in mine and after having like five different ones I still cant decide what to go with.

**lolife99** · 08-09-2011, 12:11 PM

This is my new screensaver,...

19seventeeCustom · 08-09-2011, 12:48 PM

c/10 king,

It's hard to beat the thin corvette wheels in these trucks, but then again you've most likely had 10 trucks with that wheel!!

original-71 · 08-09-2011, 03:59 PM

nice seats...what kind of steering wheel do you plan to go with original looking or custom? found this Billet one that Kinda has that look like your wheels.
