If you screw up like I did and accidentally tear out the velcro from the foam, dont worry it can be fixed. Some spray adhesive can be used to re attach the velcro strips.
Again install is the reverse of removal, turn your new cover inside out, and than unroll it into your new seat. Take it slow and make sure its tight, patients are your friend.
Press down in the areas with the velcro strips to seat them into position
More message and seating the velcro, make sure the velcro fastens tight and really work the new leather cover into place to get out the wrinkles.
Reattach the plastic clips together at the bottom of the seat, this will really fight you so be ready for it.
Now that you have your new leather installed on the cushions its time to re attach them. NOTE THE SOCK AROUND THE METAL BRACKETRY, THIS WILL OREVENT THE BRACKET FROM RIPPING YOUR NEW SEAT WHILE YOU ATTACH THE HINGE PIN
Feed your lumbar cable back through.
Then realign the hinge pin into place and press together. For me this took several tries and a few good punches woth my fist to get the pin to seat correctly.
Using a SHARP razor blade or knife cut openings for the 13 mm bolts that fasten the bracket for the seat back to the bottom frame
Reattach the plastic piece to your lumbar cable, start with it at 90 degrees
Than fold it down intonposition until it snaps in place
Trim the leather around the opening in the frame where the lumbar adjustment sleeve will pop through, and attach the screws to secure the lumbar sleeve in place
Use a pick to ounch a hole in the leather where the screwss will poke through to attach the plastic trim to the seat frame
Re-attach the plastic trim piece
Remember the two screws on the side, one hiding under the recline lever. You can also install the plastic handle onto the recline lever
So I got the parts in last night for the ac ducting. Since I had finished the re-upholstery of the seats I instaled the duct under the floor and put the seats back in. Ill post a how to later on for the center console and start figuring out how to attach the floor duct into the existing ac system. Anyway, pics of the new rubber floor and seats re-installed in the truck.
Had to drill a 7/16 hole for the plastic tab to hold the floor duct in place
I really need to reupholster my front seats and I really like that two tone you have there. That would match my truck as well. By the way, your old seats looked like they were in great shape, mine are vastly worse, especially the driver's seat.

Thanks, and I too have seen much worse however the seats were not maintained by the previous owner and were very brittle, starting to crack and disintigrate. Plus the new ones have a vinyl back instead if nylon so dog hair clean up is easier. Ill find my order form to get you to colors I used.
I did not get much done on the truck today, decided to clean out the garage instead, between landscaping and truck repair plus some minor electrical work around the house I couldnt take the disarray of stuff any more. Going to try to get the weather striping/door seals fixed this week.
