The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors Upholstery Question

what is a reasonable price to reupholster a 1957 chevy truck seat.thanks

"reasonable" depends on what quality you want, how much money you have in the bank, whether you want to install one of the vendors kits yourself or have a shop make one from whole cloth, whether all you need is the cover or need bare springs re-padded, how many shops are in your area and how hungry they are ... maybe 150-500

Just got the seat for my 59 back from the upholstery shop. 500.00. Two tone with all new foam, (which is expensive). They did a little spring work and covered the back also and done a nice job. I'm pleased with it. Do a little shopping around, another shop wanted 650.00 and foam was extra.

I did my shopping around. It does depend a little bit on how much work may need done to the seat in addition to the new cover. You can also choose between different materials. I was quoted around $300 for vinyl, $500 for cloth. I wanted leather and needed some spring work and replaced all the foam. It was "a bit more" than just new covers, but I was very happy with my new seat.
