pflaming Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 What source{s} have you used for quality but reasonably priced seat covers and/or patterns for the Pilot-house trucks? Mine went in the fire so I don't have a pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggdad1951 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I took my seat to a local upholster gal and she did the seat for about $500. Either she was good enough to just redo it w/o a pattern or she used what was left of mine to pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merle Coggins Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I got a "kit" from Robers and it worked well. Initially it was a bit loose and didn't offer much support. Then I took it to a local upholstery guy and he added an inch or so of foam and reinstalled the Roberts cover. Now it is comfortable.

Brent B3B Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 i am with Mark, took it to the local upholster $500. mine was not original in fact i got the back from Keven and this was the pattern on the back seat i was going to bring it to the next BBQ for John T. looks like something that would go good with that cowboy hat profile photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Sometimes seat covers, at least for cars, turn up on eBay. Some are more reasonably priced than others. Don't know if truck covers are out there. It would seem that "maybe" a front seat cover for a four door car might be made to fit. Just guessing. Otherwise, I would think those are fairly simple smooth covers with some piping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted December 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 The back seats from a '87+/- T-Bird or Lincoln Continental Coupe fit very nicely in the Pilot-house cabs. The Lincolns were nice leather so may get lucky. Or get the seats and have them upholstered. Got to think 'green'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyHarold Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Are there any vocational schools in your area? They may re-do your seat as a class project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
