My 1982 F100 has a cloth bench seat (of course)... I wanted to find a black vinyl seat cover that fits good but doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I want to leave the cloth just in case I don't like vinyl, but if I do, I want it to look decent to leave it on there for a while.

Don't really want to re-upholster the seat... Just looking for a vinyl seat cover...

Anyone have any suggestions on which manufacturers or where to buy?

Thank!

 

Bueller? Anyone.. Anyone..

 

You are limited to what's being made now. If you want a cheap seat cover, most of them are the "saddle blanket" type and the others are the nylon stretchy type of seat covers. Nobody wants to sweat on a sticky vinyl seat cover.

 

I do! I want to sweat on a sticky vinyl seat cover! I've seen the saddle blanket style and the neoprene stretchy style. No problems finding those, just trying to find a vinyl seat cover. Seems to be hard to find one anywhere.

Is there anyone out there on the internet that sells them. I just can't seem to find any at all for this truck.. I don't have many if any options locally..

 

I don't know your definition of "cheap", but this is typical for a vinyl seat cover.

There are other sources, too.

 

Those would be perfect, except like i said in the first post, I don't want to reupholser the seat. I'm looking for a seat cover to go over the existing seat upholstery. The price isn't really the problem. I said cheap, but I guess cheap is relative.. I can handle a couple or few hundred dollars for one. I just can't seem to find one...

 

I know you are looking for cover and not reupholster, I just can't resist to showoff

That's my rebuild & reupholstered (matching colors) seat - $500, expansive but... :

WOW!!!! That is beautiful and I'd love to do something like that. Props for sure!

What year model is that for? I love how it's done!

 

I like the seat the way it's designed - bench with armrest plus bucket.
I pulled it off 1988 model from local Pick&Pull:

 

nikmish,


Is that leather? Very nice!!

 

No, vinyl. Can't afford leather.

 

I guess that model fits your 82 F150 without modifications? I really, really like that bench seat design better. I may have to hit the junk yards and start looking! I'm guessing it should also fit my 1982 F100..

 

That's why i pulled it, 1980-96 same seat mounts.

 

but! any cover or upholstery will cost more for this seat because of it's configuration and armrest, that's what my upholstery guy told me.
