Planning on putting new upholstery for the front bench but haven't found a good stock cover. Do you guys think the standard cab truck covers will be the same? Other than having a seat that doesn't fold forward I don't think there is any difference. Any info?

As far as the fit for your seat I'm not sure but I will say that the cover I bought from LMC like the one in the middle of the three is a good fit in my K10. Good quality and is holding up well after three years.

I would assume your front seat is the same as a truck. My '80 3+3 used the same covers for front (fixed) and back (folding). I had the one pictured in back on my '79 K15. The fit was good. I had the truck for 4 years and the only issue I could see was the grey velour was fading a little, but the truck was parked outside in the California sun.

I used a 3+3 cover for my old Suburban. It worked great.

If I take out one set of bolts on the seat back I can have a fold down seat. What is different about the seat covers.

I really want a fold down seat.

I'm going back in my memory log to 1995 when I had my 3+3. I reupolstered the seats my self. I recall the front and rear material being the same. I think the only difference is how you cover the front hinges. The seat frames were the same, but the front has 4 bolts holding on the back, not 2 like for a folding seat.
