ill have some pictures posted soon... hopefully by the end of today. Yes, I have 40-20-40 seats. They fits almost as if they were recovered. In the middle for the arm rest with cup holders they wrap tightly around and into the console so it has a flush look. the cover stays pretty tight to the seat. My truck is black with grey interior and as you will see from the pictures... the covers look almost like upgraded stock seat.... Black with the dark grey inlay.
Let me know if you need more info, ill post the pics as soon as possible.

SoCon,
The covers look nice. How do they fasten to the seat? My brother ordered from seatcoversunlimited.com, said his fastened with lots-n-lots of individual strings. He liked the strings better than the last set of covers that attached with elastic ribbons with hooks on them.

Good pictures, they do a good job of showing the seats.
I'm not sure I like the way they 'surround' the arm rest drink holders, but then I don't see anyone else doing a better job there. Is there any way you could post a link to the covers? I'm not sure which ones these are.
Thanks again for the info and good pictures

SoCon,
Those Pic's of the seats look good.
Do you have the power driver seat?
That seat configuration looks like my truck. After looking at the web site, I'm not sure which cover to order to fit.
What was the part number or configuration you ordered for those covers?
Thanks,

SoConSick, those seatcovers look great. I want a set. But I have one question? Did you have to remove the headrest to get them on? I tried to remove my headrest but it wont come out. The dealer said they dont come out. Whats the deal?

Thanks for the compliments guys. The headrests do come off... i dont think it was needed for the headrest covers but you need it to get the backs of the seat on. To answer some previous questions...the bottom part of the seats(what you sit on) are strapped on on with two adjustable straps that wrap around the underside of the seat. The back part of the covers slide over the seats and zipper up on one back corner side(you can barely see it. These covers are great cause they come with pockets on the back. The center part of the seat (the 20 in 40-20-40) comes with the package. A couple things... I dont have a power driver seat.... make sure to get the right covers when it come to the integrated seat belt, if it is integrated there is a difference!

My brother got a valoor seat cover (like the stock upholstery in the previous style f150) from seatcoversunlimited.com. They sell all types of covers so I priced a neoprene set out. For front w/ map pockets, back, and head rest covers it cam eto 462 + shipping. I looked at the valoor but don't think that is "me". I think I will go with the same one's SoCal bought. Gotta clear it with the wife though
.
Hey SoCal, How thick are the covers? My brother mentioned he thought there would be more thickness to the covers he bought. Thanks!

Wow, Lardman, I thought the Wet Okole covers were a bit expensive. For 5-6 hundred you can get real quality leather. 464 for just the front seems on the 'ouch' side.
I have thought about the 145 buck ones from E-bay. synthetic leather, means plastic, of course. But I can't find anyone who has them, or get any info how they address the center fold down console, or the seat mounted belts. E-mailing them gets a form letter.
