Seat covering

Hello,

Has anyone ever used Stock Interiors for re-upholstering their front bench? I have a 1979 F-350 with a split bench. Covers won't do it because the vinyl is ripped in too many places.

73-86 Ford Full Size Truck, Extended and Super Cab Seat Upholstery Front Seats 60/40 Front Split Back Bench; Rear Bench 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986

I've seen a lot of chatter on this board about seat covers/upholstery and Stock Interiors appears to have a good product. The description says 60/40 split, but it looks 50/50 to me (like my bench). Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks,
Rob

That price is insane. A shop could re-do that seat in leather with factory stitching for about the same.

I wonder if they stopped making the split bench upholstery. I seem to remember it being available from many vendors for less money.

Anyone near Las Vegas, very capable shop with tons of experience:

I like the carpet I bought from StockInteriors, but that price seems high to me.

I had a local upholstery shop rebuild and reupholster my bench seat for less than that

I used the upholstery from National Parts Depot to recover the solid bench. Fit like a glove and came with the pliers and hooks.

Had my full bench done by local shop for under $300.00.Pulled it and took it in. They went thru the springs and reclamped everything. Took him all of two hours to do.

Perfect. Thank you everyone. I'm glad I asked. I got a local price of about $900. I live in a small town without much competition. I'll take my search further afield.
