Depends on what you want when truck is finished. It will take about the same amount of time to recover. If you don't need to replace the foam in the s-10 seat it will be cheaper to recover. Personally I would recover the original. You can buy the foam and covers from several vendors. I've used lmc truck and classic industries for the materials in the past. You can also buy the hog rings and pliers from either. You should be able to fix the springs and rods fairly easy. Look at the s-10 seat and how the metal wires ( hog rings)hold the fabric to the frame. The original will basically be the same.
