after market seat covers...

[amazingflapjack]

Hey all-I am looking for suggestions on some seat covers for my restored ford truck. I want something good quality-can be vinyl, fabric, or leather, but has to fit and look right for the DIY guy. I am open, and appreciate all suggestions. Thanks.

I vote for those saddle blanket design type with the rifle scabbard pocket in front. That's what I put in all my old Ford trucks.

Had them in my '64 and my '77. They kept the springs from poking you in the ....pockets. Think I got them at TG&Y. No Walmarts in those days.

I wanted pleated in my '62 and found that all of the kits were bonded pleats.

I found a local guy that made mine to order for $200. That was about twenty years ago but still not much more than the junky aftermarket covers.

Money well spent. The seat still looks like new.

Ruff Tuff.
They fit tight and clean up with a damp towel.
I've had them in a work truck for three years and they still look nice.
America made also.

keep'em coming guys-the ruff tuffs look good. I want top quality that fits right and wears well. Thanks

Katzkin leather covers, perfect fit and can be made in any color or trim.

I installed some seat covers which were made from the same material as wet suits are made. They fit vey nice and have been in my truck 7 years and show little wear. These are the ones I have.

Here are pics. of my F150. Now you can see why I chose the gold and black color scheme for the seat covers.

This thread isn't complete without a picture of your truck.

I wish I had my '53 F100 back. It had the flathead V8 and a three on the tree.

Last week I added Cover King's neoprene Adobe color saddle blanket seat covers to my new 2016 F250 with the idea to help keep my seats from getting stained or abused from dirt dust as I'm working in the field involving dry mix concrete. So far I'm really pleased with these and would recommend them for the cost and looks and overall fit.

Pictures guys, we need pictures...

I have DU seat covers and they are okay... waterproof too.

Thanks everyone-I am going to see if I can find someone locally to do custom work-I am unable to physically do the work like I could right now. Thanks again, Flapjack.

When I opened this thread I was hoping for a photo of a hot young lady in a pickup. It may not be PC but "seat covers "is what we called them in my day.

I had some "Wet Okole" seat covers for a 2004 F-150 they are neoprene and were fine. Fit well and not difficult to put on, I see Cabelas sells them.
Good Luck1
