Re: Bench Seat, Having it Reupholstered

Here it is. I still need to install the seat tracks & hinge garnishes.

Frame & Seat tracks were restored, (surface rust removed & repainted).
Tracks lubed for better slide. All springs lubed also.
New Hinge Garnishes & Seat Belt Hole Garnishes.
New screws for the garnishes.

I haven't done buckets yet. And I have been searching around and can't seem to find any replacement foam. Also looking at other interiors, are these seats original to the truck?

Yes they will fit. Right now the only seats I have available, are with new foam. These are $900. If I get more seats where I can use the original foam, the seats $750.

Re: Bench Seat, Having it Reupholstered

Working on a few seats, sandblasting the frames and tracks. Unfortunately the 69 seat, the seat frame completely rusted through. I was able to salvage the tracks at least.

Working on an 81-87 seat, it will be a black vinyl deluxe with a new foam.

Also working on the 74 seat, it will be in saddle vinyl.

So a am I, lol. All I'm waiting on now is the end support springs. USA1 Industries only had 3 in stock, and it takes 6 total, 3 on each end. I got the tracks and frame sandblasted and those are ready for paint. Also got those stainless steel pieces on the side there by the hinges all polished up.

These are the springs and this is just a generic photo of what it should look like. The seat also has the hinge covers, not sure if I'll paint them in saddle or black.

Can this style work on a 75 C10 seat? LMC shows this style for 81-87 but can you make it work? I'm still not 100% on the difference on the styles from 73-80 and 81-87. Let me know. Thanks

I assume you mean the cover itself? The foam sizes are just a hair different from 73-80 to 81-87. So the "STYLE" is correct for the model year. The Deluxe Style came out on the 81-87. Now what can be done, is to put a 81-87 bench seat with that deluxe cover, in to your 75. All the seats will fit from 73-87 onto the truck cab floor.
