2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Seat rebuild

[PKnight]

After nearly twenty years and 230,000 miles my drivers seat cushion and leather cover need replacing. What have you guys done as far as sources for these items. Genoes list cloth covers and foam cushions but evidently not in leather. I would like to keep the truck as original as possible so don't want anything not correct for it--97 SLT club cab with tan leather and 40/20/40.

I had mine recovered by a local upholstery shop for $75.00. Good match and has held up well.

I would get the seat cushion from Geno's and take BigPapa's advice concerning the seat cover.

Thanks Ed and Big Papa--- sounds like good advice.

Although I don't have the leather interior I purchased a passenger seat bottom at a local u-pull-it for about $20 and it bolted right up to the driver side seat frame. Only difference is as you get in the truck you're looking at a vinyl edge versus the cloth edge. The inner edges (that face the arm rest/seat bottom) of the driver/passenger seat bottoms are vinyl to prevent wear with the center section seat bottom, as both sides of the center section are cloth. Cheap fix, hardest part was fining one in good shape with correct color match.
