oldskoolvws Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Looking for real good job. Need to take my 521 horsehair seat and refinish in foam and use my NOS seat covers. Anyone have any good suggestions or hookups? Also have one broken spring. I don't want that reupholstered "puffy" look. I want is flat and tight as much as possible. Im in the East bay, but for a good job willing to travel.... Help? Quote Link to comment

DAT510 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Cloth and vinyl, the vinyl can be mistaken for leather... Lol I want bucket seats now lol... I don't fit in this truck Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Buckets are gonna put you closer to the steering wheel, so beware! Quote Link to comment

oldskoolvws Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Did he replace the horsehair with foam? Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Yes, new foam. He shaped the foam and everything Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Cloth and vinyl, the vinyl can be mistaken for leather... Lol I want bucket seats now lol... I don't fit in this truck 521s are small. Buckets cant sit as far back as the bench can. My friend and I found some amazing seats in a 620, put them in his 521 and there is no room, and they are small seats! Im talking like top of the seat is below the rear window. 521's are great if you are about 5'8" and shorter. Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Sorry I can't quote on this iPod. Yeah I realized that now lol. I'm 5"10 and it's not too small, but quite a tight fit I was hoping to put a amp/sub in there.. I need to do something about that steering wheel as well i knee it getting out Quote Link to comment
