71-72 Suburban houndstooth bench seat upholstery
 

I have decided to put the bench seat back in my Suburban and I want to upholster it with the vinyl/houndstooth insert upholstery kit. Looks like board member GMCPauls is about the best price I have found yet. $269. Any one have any other pricing/availability info that may be better?

I also need the carpet kit...looks like about $315 is the best I have found.

I bought one from Athey's. I can't remember for sure, but I think it was about $225.

Re: 71-72 Suburban houndstooth bench seat upholstery
 

Yep he has them for $225 but they are for trucks.....the ones for the Suburbans and Blazers (they have a back)are $265 and they are not in stock.

Thanks for the information....I had not heard of them...seem to be pretty good prices!!!

classic industries has the carpet for $300....if saving 15 bucks matters.

I ended up ordering from Atheys. They were the best price of all I called.
$269.00 2 week delivery time. I was wanting to send some business to
GMCPauls, fellow board member, but they must be having phone troubles this week. I tried for 4 days to get through and it just rang busy. No response to emails either....I hope all is well with them?!?!?!

Trying to get through to GMC Pauls is a problem. They need better a better phone system/service. Sorry~!

Not a burb, but my houndstooth covers came from Tim Christian :metal:

Re: 71-72 Suburban houndstooth bench seat upholstery
 

I called regularly on and off for three days. I tried faxing a "request to be called" 2 times....once sucsessfully, and I e-mailed two times. I never heard back. On the fourth day I gave up.

Atheys is also a board supporting member.;)

Beat me to it!We all have to understand the pains of being a small business owner.Alot of these vendors do it on the side.Unfortunately they don`t get enough business to support themselves full-time.Most make up with superior customer service in all other aspects.

Re: 71-72 Suburban houndstooth bench seat upholstery
 

Glad to know they are a board supporting member.
I will start dealing with them more often.
I will let you all know the how the seat upholstery looks when i get it.

Re: 71-72 Suburban houndstooth bench seat upholstery
 

I believe GMCPauls is in the process of moving to there new location. Outstanding people to deal with. Recently stopped in to there old place and will make it a point to do business there in the future. Bill Athey is also a standup guy. You cant go wrong at either vendor!

Looks to be a great reproduction. Fit well and and went on with no problems.
I was lucky, my springs and seat foam were in great shape. I did do a little mod. to the seat bracket so it would sit back 2 more inches and lean back a bit also while using all the factory holes in the floor and seat.. When I do the middle seat I am going to move it back also to allow for more leg room there.

Thanks ATHEYS !!!!!!!!!

Looks Good!!

Re: 71-72 Suburban houndstooth bench seat upholstery
 

Where is Atheys on the board vendors list? Can't find it.

Re: 71-72 Suburban houndstooth bench seat upholstery
 

Looks good! What would you have to do if your seats need foam, as mine do? Can they foam be replaced also?
Thanks for sharing the pict.

This is a five year old thread. I didnt see them on any vendors list either, but vendors cant always be identified by the board member names. I would pm a mod and ask them for a little help.
