Replacement seat upholstery

[BillyP]

Ok, I have a seat that I need to find new upholstery for, but nobody has ever seen what mine has in it. I don't have the best picture yet, but if you look to the left of the truck, you can see the seat. There are no designs on the seat like others, it is just pleated all the way across like the seat bottom is in a grey/black tweed material, with vinyl on the back of it. I'll try to get a better picture tomorrow or Tuesday since the truck is not where I am now. You can also see it a little through the windows as well on the last picture.

That looks like a standard issue bench seat to me. LMC Truck and likely others sell a reupholstery kit.

Yeah, they don't have it. These are the only ones they offer, and it is none of them.

Oh, you mean the upholstery design? I thought you were talking about fit and finish concerns. The design that I see a lot is the black one in the picture above. I'd like to see a picture of what you're talking about.

 

[BillyP]

Yes, sorry I ment the design. I'll grab a picture of it and post it up. I know the seat is original to the truck since it was bought in '85 and never changed.

You have your job cut out for you if your trying to find original seat upholstery or even the same design. I tried for a long time and ended up going with a common design offered by most online retailers now.

Check Rockauto and brother's trucks. I really like what I saw on Rockauto the other day.

That's the odd thing, I have never seen the design of the seat in my truck in any other C10. I'm going to go by where the truck is this afternoon and get a picture of the seat. Thanks for the links, I'll check them out.

 

[BillyP]

Well, I was able to get a picture a little earlier than I thought. Just ignore the junk.

Way back the 80s when my seat in my 69 longhorn ripped, I tried to find stock and couldn't. The seat had tough vinyl with cloth insets. Imagine my surprize when I went to a top shop and was offered a great price. The inserts were of a different design, but it rocked and looked stock.
Maybe you should think out of the box

You might try contacting a local auto upholstery company. Mine were in bad shape so I reached out to a local company. I didn't care about original design so I gave them a concept and they redid mine including some new cushions and springs for $400. It would have been cheaper if the seats themselves would have been in better shape.

Looks like the seat out of a Ford. I had a '90 but with a red seat that looked like that.

The seat is original. The design was mine and executed by the upholsterer.

Meant that for the original poster.
