Seat Covers?

Vintage Truck?

If PW seats are the same as what's in the Job Rated 2WD trucks, you might Vintage Truck magazine or their web site. Seems there a few of those restored, too. Couldn't hurt, I guess.

how about $450.00 for just the base

Well, I spent the day drivin around to virtually every single upholstery place in town. I know I need to blast and paint or powder coat the seat springs and frame.

I am particular in the fabric i want, but jeeze, the cheapest I found to do the seat was 300 bucks. Thats for the material thats not exactly what I want, padding, bulap and install.

Is it me or is that kinda expensive? Ranges were from 450 to 300. I could buy the seat kit and cover from Roberts for less, but its not the material I really want. The material isnt that expensive cuz only one place asked what I wanted and he said no difference.

Tommys auto upholstery Gave Me a price of $450.00 for just the base the seat. Back of the seat has only a small tear. A small auto upholsery place gave a price of $450 for both seat & back.

I asked a place in Victoria called Tommys auto upholstery how much to recover the base of My seat because the back of the seat is ok except for a small tear and that is what I was told.

Wow, guess 300 isnt that bad then, just seems kinda high.

That would be cool, cuz then I could get my own material, make them and install them myself! Cool, lemme know if that happens. How soon is soon??

Thanks

As soon as I get set up in My shop

I am in the process of moving to a new shop. I took the engine out of one of My parts trucks and intalled it in My 56 PW. Only to find that the engine had been frozen & the block cracked when I cleaned the side of the block i must have losened the sealant whatever that was bacause it fell of there for that is My first concern next will be the seat. So if you can hold on for a little while say in the next month or two. I am very tired of geting seat springs where thay do not belong!
