Seat covers

I am trying to find seat covers for the seats I am using in my 53 to save money fight now. Can someone tell me what these seats are out of?

Is there any kind of part number or maybe production tag underneath to at least give a clue on the manufacturer?

I think the seats look pretty nice the way they are. Unless there's some damage we can't see, I don't think I'd bother covering them and just enjoy them as is. My 2c.

They are Grey and I am going with saddle tan. Already have the carpet. Upholstery shop wants 1500 to 2000 to recover them. I am wanting to save money so I can replace the wood in my bed. Will have the seats redone later

Hello. Could they be rear seats out of a van? That still doesn't help much. If on a budget, you could go to piknpull. I got mine for 30.00 a piece, vinyl , and look real good. Black seats are more abundant, tan might be harder to find. Still probably cheaper than seat covers. Good luck with your project. Larry

Hard to say, looks like it could be out of an 80's full size van. Fold up arm rests on both sides says it comes from something bigger.

seats

I would get the interior done before worrying about the bed wood put a piece of 3/4" plywood or Aluminum diamond plate and enjoy your truck with a NEW clean interior like you want---Sorry just my 2 cents-- Good luck

If your seats are in good shape. I'd look into Colorbond. It's spray paint for fabric and plastics. I saw it on one of the automotive channels and it covered really well with no flaking or pealing.
