The fit is really quite good and they are very easy to install, just take your time and they will look fine. Mind you they are pull over seat cover's and they look good "but" don't replicate the details of the factory seats completly. My leather is the light bone color, the covers are more of a tan but still look fine with the rest of the interior.
Also, I looked but can not tell if you have the Crew or the extended. I'm asking because I am curious about the seat belt tower.
Wish you would start a gallery, so I could get a look.
My other concern is the center seat, but with the captains chairs, you don't have that problem.
Thanks

Chris, I'll get to the gallery, My truck is supercab, the picture that I see looks just like my original leather seats, I really dont think anybody could make pull overs at $139.00 to fit that good. My covers are cloth and they may not have the detail that the pleather ones might. The seat belt tower is no problem as the seat back cover has a vertical split on the outside back corner that fastens with velcro. You can see the seam but like I said earlier, for $139.00 not a bad product.

jocacliff, Tried to reply, don't know what happend, will try again! The headrest's are a seperate piece, and the back cover slips under/around the belt tower quite neatly. However to fit between the belt and the seat back the cover has a vertical seam at the rear out side corner, its full velcro with a cover over it but its still a obvious seam. The factory fabric/leather has velcro strips at all of the inside pleats which allow you to tuck the fabric/leather tight into the folds. With the slip ons they are fastened at the outside edges with tabs and stretch belt,the defination is not as good. I guess one could use thin velcro strips and do the same as factory covers before installing the G.T. covers although the strips might show thru.

Well, I placed the order on 6-23 this is 7-7. I contacted them, they say that they may ship tommorrow, 7-8.
Since they ship by the slowest carrier in my area (UPS) even if they do ship tomorrow, I won't be expecting them for 5 working days, or seven days. So about the 15th.
22 days.
My original estimate was 14-22 days. I suspect it will be a day or three longer.

What kind of fabric did you order and what cab and seat config do you own?
442w30 - Please oh please put some pics up my man. It would greatly be appreciated. Also since you have had them a while do they stay on well or do the bunch up as you get in and out?
Thanks

I have been following another thread elsewhere on changing the cover on the center 20% seat.

The 20 % is for the center of my 40-20-40...
Anyway, not thrilled by their poor communications, but then, when you deal with someone that's a wholesaler, you don't expect too much hand holding.
I noticed at the local Ford dealership they had a thingy in the parts department with the fabric (all cloth) samples from GT covers.
They seem to be at least a semi-official seat cover there. But the slow witted people behind the counter didn't know anything. About the seat covers as well.

Sorry everybody! not to good at posting pic's! Hope to get some help tomorrow to get them posted for you all. In answer to the question about covers bunching up. Not at all, they still fit quite good and dont twist up when I get in and out, which I do a lot of. The paperwork that comes with them suggests to readjust them after a couple of weeks, yet to do that but they really havent changed shape since installation.
