Sounds like you need to find out who that lady is, and I would drive the hour and a half one afternoon and drop it off to get it done in birmingham! Heck I have to drive an hour to go to some stores anyway, not that much farther to this shop...if still in business.

Heck it's takes over an hour to get from one side of Atlanta to the other.

IM not octane but I can call a few places for yoo....IM @Swearbody(guy in bham) ( you've been responding to me as octane for some reason<LOL)
Its Saturday so give me til Tuesday and ill have made the calls.[/QUOTE]

Damn this quoting has gotten way off<LOL

But yeah me too. Perhaps OP should call a few marinas in GA and ask who they suggest. Lots of work doing marine seats all over.

Stewarts hot rod upholstery will install a cover/foam kit if you find it for $125ish. He suggest buying the foam and cover and says that old foam ends up as old looking seats regardless of what is done. He seemed pretty knowledgeable. Has a shop full of hot rods and is semi retired but agreed to do the work.
he is busy and getting ready for the "bike seat" rush as he said so you would have to get it to him within the month.
His normal custom bench seats are 1200 like everyone else, However he isnt opposed to installing an aftermarket cover kit like many other upholsterers.

Thats three calls to who was open today. Ill make the 20 or so more monday and get back to you but for 125 labor....id be looking for an aftermarket seat cover kit.
You are looking at about $350 for cushions and another $250 for velour from lmc. Dont even bother with Brothers...same **** is $480 and $350

Ecklers has top and bottom foam in one piece for around $200 but no covers



Swearbody Im sorry about that - didmc =mean to call you Octane...

I would drive B'ham - know what really like - SIMPLICITY--

https://www.etsy.com/listing/597536...upholstery-cover?ref=shop_home_active_3&frs=1

But I'd think I'd rather have professionally installed and made. This is going to be mostly back to stock and my daily driver. It' would be best topay the money - right??

I just don't know the best way to go....Buy cover and foam - install or have someone do it l;ike you said Stewarts HOT ROD Uphoulstry. (like over in B'ham) from a reputable shop. AND - what about door panels?

Ive had good luck with refinishing door panels myself too. I dont like any of the aftermarket door panels ive seen. All the parts are available and the vinyl spray paint works well if you prep the surface well.
If it were me Id just order the foam and a good cover and do it myself. Its a 2-3hr job at worst.

Google the seats and choose images or maybe call or email LMC and ask if they have any pics of them in a truck or a customer's truck


I believe the LMC seats you are referring to are the ones made by TMI.

They have a few pictures on their website and will make them any color, pattern, stitching you want.

Here are three choices for brand new aftermarket seats for our trucks that are bolt in:

Qualitex
Snowden
TMI

I just remembered, Stacy David put the TMI seats in the Stunt Double.

I liked him on trucks. I wondered what happened to him. Brew up watching him.
