Helps if you have a spouse or helper at several points, to hold and stretch the material, but you can get the seat cover kits from many vendors and you can also get the padding and burlap from them or from your local fabric shop. The seat cover kits are about $175. for the pebble-grain version and the padding kits run about $25...both from Jim Carter. I'd recommend the French-stitching version. It has a nice finished look to the seams. I was pleased with my supplies from Carter. I don't know what year truck you have but if its 47-53, which I am most familar with, don't bother with the hog ring pliers and the rings. You can buy the "C" clips that hold the material into the spring frame from Carter, or I found the same items at Home Depot. I cleaned my springs with a wire brush on a grinder, then replaced one tired coil spring and sprayed everything with a couple coats of black rustoleum before recovering. | | |
