Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered

How do you recommend material type? For example, is one more durable and more comfortable for a proposed daily driver? I'm sure location plays a part. Probably wouldn't want black vinyl in Arizona for a daily LOL. I realllllllly like that brown tweed bench..Do any customers send pics back to you of the installed seats to see how they mesh color wise?

I don't recommend material type, people tell me what they want. Personally I prefer the Velour. The Tweed is nice, the color is actually Mahogany. They did send a pic after it was installed. And the 2nd pic is my seat, Charcoal.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered

Saved some more seats from being trashed or crushed. Got a couple of 77-80 seats. One seat, in pic #3 & #4, is a 1967-1968 bench. Already have them stripped down and off to sandblasting.

It would have fit, but it has been sold. It was correct for 77-80 GMC. The only seat I have built up and ready are these:
77-80 Camel Tan
81-87 Black & Silver
81-78 Maroon & Burgandy
But any 73-87 seat will fit, they all bolt up to the floor of the cab, or any 73-87 truck. I take $50 off the price of the seat, for the core seat.
I can build pretty much anything, but that GMC seat. I do not have one at this time.
