Clicking on that link, they sell a bunch of misc items. Never saw the covers, but wasn’t going to spend much time looking there.
So the question is, are you wanting a slip cover? Or are you wanting an actual seat upholstery cover? There is a difference. And cheap isn’t always better.
Slip covers are just that. They slip on over your existing seat, and you just tie them down. They are just meant to be a protective cover for your seat. A lot of people like them to cover up the destroyed seat that they have, or to protect the new upholstery cover that was installed on their seat. Myself, I hate them things. But that’s just my opinion of them, lol.
The actual seat upholstery cover is made specifically for our seats. They can be a handful to install onto the seat. They are meant to be tight, to the point you feel like they are not going to fit. These also get hog ringed to the frame. To install one of theses, the seat needs to be removed from the truck and taken apart and the old cover removed. This is the perfect time to inspect and repair any seat frame issue you may find. I find issues on almost every seat I strip down for restoration. Some people will throw a new cover on the frame the have. I wouldn’t recommend that, because I see all the issues that are hiding under that old cover & foam. It would be like spending a bunch of money on painting your truck, but painting over top of bubbling rust and not fixing any of the rust before painting. Seems like a waste of money, but some people actually do that. Like to ole saying “putting lipstick on a pig”.
