Ok, this subject comes up often enough that there is obviously a reasonable demand for an "original style" kit. Can anyone give me a good explanation as to why nobody reproduces seat covers for our trucks? I believe all the materials are available either NOS or repro (or both), so why no pre-sewn kits?
If I had any clue on how to do it myself, I'd do it, but it would seem simple enough for an already established kit manufacturer to add this line to their catalog. The money is there for the taking. Anyone?
