Saddle Leather Interior
Not quite there with my project but already dreaming/planning interior.
I've always wanted to have a truck with true saddle leather interior. Has anyone every done this or know what it would cost to have a bench seat done in saddle leather? I was also thinking about putting it over the side panels but mostly concerned about the bench.
The King-ranch is the closest I've seen and I'd be fine with that but even that isn't as thick as real saddle leather i don't think.

I've never thought of saddles as particularly comfortable compared to most automotive seats. The king ranch seats are pretty hard wearing, and would cost a small fortune to buy from ford, probably $3-4k for the upper and lower parts of a bench. Check companies such as Katzkins for leather cover replacements. If you go custom, be aware that saddle leather takes a stout sowing machine and even upholstery shops may not have a bad enough one.
