73 620 seat upholstery

[pharouh]

does anyone know where to get a real seat cover? I don't mean the wally world one size fits all velour crap.I mean replacement seat covers like Pacific Vinyls sold. You removed the old seat upholstery and put this one on with the hog rings . I just need something simple and black vinyl. Like this. Thanks!

Probably not sold anymore as a do it yourself kit anymore. Any good upholstery shop can make you the cover.

I did find something close at seatcovers.net. It's a slip on black vinyl at $150. You would know that the only uphosltery shop we had in town closed recently.:(

I would find the upholstery shop in the next town over , I would be willing to bet you that they would do the whole job for $150

 

what do you think ?

[mklotz70]

Not to rain on the parade, but the last time I had a bench seat bid for upholstery.....it was $400+

 

You might check with slodat....see if he's into doing seat covers yet.

[slam_dat_sun]

That seem super expensive , I guess that it might be a lot cheaper here in phoenix az cause theres an upholstery shop on every corner . I could see $400+ if you were doing real leather but just for vinyl . If its that much I would just go the old skool way put a Mexican blanket on it ;p;

I got a quote on my seat a few months ago. Wanted new foam and recovered in plain vinyl, nothing fancy. And was quoted $400+ too.

[slodat]

$400 wouldn't get you close to real leather. A hide runs $550-600 for an average one and that would most likely only cover the two seating surfaces of a tiny bench. Add to that the rest of the materials and labor and your looking at a $1k seat. I'm about to do a 620 std cab bench seat in the next month or so for a personal project. I think Mike's pricing of $400+ is in the ballpark..

[slam_dat_sun]

I think your correct in Or , but like I am saying down here in phoenix every time you turn around you see a shop . And with so much competition these guys go cut throat on each other to get the work . For vinyl done on a 620 bench maybe top out at $200 . Or if you lived down here you could venture off into mexico and get it done for $50 to $100 . thats my story and I am sticking to it lol :lol:

opps, I forgot about your trk getting damaged, that sux. I just wanting to compare price in your area to mine, good luck with your project.

 

pimp my ride, why not overhauling, Chip does cooler work...

[slam_dat_sun]

Yeah chip foose does better work and he dont put stupid shit in your ride like cotton candy machines lol . As for my truck I have everything needed to rebuild it core support , grill , valance , fenders . The only damage from the wreck was the right side fender and minor damage to the core support . However it had previous damage to the core support , left fender , bumper , valance , and grill . So I figured why not just go ahead and do everything , so with that said every body is in for a big surprise when my truck is done and it will take a while to do what I am doing

I know the feeling. Here's what I did with mine after the wreck. it needed a core support,inner and outer fender, 'a' frame. So i thought,why not. Remember I did this in front of my apartment. My dining area looked like a parts warehouse. The hard part was tring to figure out a latch for the back of the fenders. My friend Andy used dzuz fasteners like on race cars.
