seat problem ?

I have a 2002 f-350 7.3 crew cab that i just bought a month ago,it has a 126000 mi on it,so the seats are a little worn especially where the driver gets in and out,has anyone had this problem fixed,without just buying new seats.

If the foam is still in good shape you could just recover the seats or buy some seat covers. There are several that look very nice now.

I bought two new leater seat covers off ebay. Looks great. Just a thought if you do change them out you might want to consider the heated seat option as well.

I replaced the drivers side bottom foam and stocker leather cover myself. Parts came from powerstrokeshop.com and it was an easy job.

I wanted to stay stock, but if I didn't wet-okole makes some that look better than the factory seats.

Spring for the new foam - it's like driving a low-mile truck again...!

yes. Just a note, there's a *lot* on the online version of powerstrokeshop.com that's either different or just not there. Seems like I always end up having to call them. They've got it, though.
