aftermarket seat covers

looking for a seat covedr for my truck, 73 f250 cs bench seat, I have tried O'rielly;s, Autozone and Pep boys, found that the covers are to small, two peice or fits pretty close but retaining straps break hen trying to snug up. I am not wanting to spend bucks on reupholstering. Any one have luck with a particular bran or supplier?
Thanks
Jeff

Lmc sells the Indian weaved looking ones that everyone used back in the day on these trucks.

Marathon seat covers, I have bought two different styles and am very happy with the fit and finish. The camo codura ones are very tuff also.

I got a saddle blanket cover from LMC and have been extremely happy with it. There is a picture in my gallery.

I bought the one from orielly's, and like you mentioned the straps broke and there were not enough of them. I took some boat tarp straps(got a real good price on them at the time) and sew(ed?) them on to the cover, 3 on the back and 3 on the bottom. It worked pretty good, I just wanted something temporary till I figure out how I'm going to do the interior.

Here's a crappy pic of the back. The straps attach to the seam were the back and the bottom of the cover meet.

a bench seat is amazingly easy to cover, especially on our trucks. just 2 big squareish pieces, no headrests, etc. If you pull the seat apart you can probably get an upholstery shop to sew you whatever fabric you bring them for like $100-$200 bucks tops.
