SEAT COVER OPTIONS

Hello all, I currently am using a bench seat out of an 89 bull nose truck in my 79 f150. I would like to keep it as i have added heated seat elements and the seat is in good shape. Just wondering what people have used to recover? lmc, rockauto etc? I would like to find black or brown upholstery(currently red) to fit the 89 seat.
any thoughts?
Thanks
Brent

Probably smarter to ask in the '89 forum, right? Since maybe 1% of us have swapped in a seat from specifically an '89 and 50% of that 1% may no longer be an active member here.

Howdy,

I dont know where you are located, but i had mine done a shop for 300 bucks out the door and he even put a pocket between my legs on the front of the seat. When i was pricing cover, anything worth buying was almost 250 and then you still had all the work to do. just my thoughts.

I had mine done at a shop. It cost me about $400. Unless someone reconstructs it, there can be that many companies reproducing them.

I'm going to be in the market pretty soon. There seems to be a lot of different covers at different prices.

The cover on it now was done at a shop. I can't remember what it cost, though. That's been 15 years ago, and it held up pretty well.

I got a seat cover from Stock Interiors. www.stockinteriors.com I have a 79 one ton with a bench seat. I think it cost about $200. I bought a floor covering with extra backing on it from them too. Worth every penny. Super good fit. High quality. Friendly people.

Get some Contractor Grade, Ballistic nylon, Cordura nylon, Carhartt material type.

"The best indicator of the durability of fabric material is the denier rating as it tells you the fiber thickness of the fabric. The higher the number is, the thicker the fiber. The thicker the fiber is, the heavier (and stronger) the fabric. You should look for something in the 500 – 2,000 denier range. Bear in mind that the higher the denier rating, the heavier the material is as well. Higher denier rating does though not always mean better material. That depends as well on the type of fabric. For example, ballistic nylon and cordura nylon are always superior to polyester in fabric quality."
