I thought Id try my hand at upholstering.I got a kit from Classic chev .It comes with the vinal,burlap,cotton padding and felt.
Question it looks like theres only enough felt for the seat and not the back.Does this mean you don't need it for the back because it doesn't wear as much?

What part number and which Classic Chev?

What year truck?

In many older years there was also a coir-fiber matting on seat bottoms and seat backs. Some kits (like Jim Carter's) did-not/do-not include a coir-like material. Without it, any amount of cotton matting/batting/padding will not make a comfortable seat.

I wasn't going anywhere until knowing the product.

Call them and ask about where they intend the different types of material should be used.

Maybe Denny Graham will chime in about the need (if any) for a coir-like material.
