Do you mean on a Suburban, K/5, or custom truck? Trucks don't have backs from factory

I did on my Jimmy. I don't have any pics but I just traced the outline on a piece of 1/4" plywood and marked the mounting holes. Drilled them them sanded smooth the wood and tapered the edges. Then I just wrapped it in same GM cloth I had seats recovered in. Looks and worked great.

Any of the above would work, but I guess mostly blazer seats. I'm looking to see if any one has covered the whole seat and NOT used the screw on backs.

thanks Jothan

Mike, I was hoping to get away from having to screw any type of back on it. If I do I may end up using plywood. Do you have any pictures of yours that you could post?

thanks Jothan
