Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
Any idea what this would look like in Blue? I'm considering doing both my seats in my Crew Cab Dually.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
I have done a blue in the past. It would look like this seat, and like the one you posted. Here's a color chart also.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
Took a little road trip down to Kentucky. Came home with 4 grilles and 3 bench seats.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
I like the way you protect the bottom of the seat foam from the springs with Jute.
It's those little touches that make for a quality re-build.

It's part of the rebuild kit, which helps build and firm up the foam. It gives the bottom of the seat a cleaner look. As you said, it also protects the bottom of the seat foam from the springs. In most cases, Jute can not be used when a new foam bottom is installed on the seat. The new cover is impossible to get on. (see pic) Some upholstery shops use batting, but it doesn't hold up and it's messy. I only use batting on the small holes that need filled in. But most of the time, it's best just to replace a bad section with new piece of foam.(see pic) It's ideal to use a NEW seat bottom foam, but it's too pricey for some. But I have customers insist on having a NEW foam. If the original foam is too damaged, it gets tossed. When I tear down seats that have been "rebuilt" at one time, I have found that people use all sorts of stuff. Towels, carpet, hard foam, newspapers, cardboard and luan paneling just to name a few.
