Cheap, cheap bench seat foam from U-haul! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello all,
I don't spend much time in this area, as the only '88-'98 part that I have is a '98 Chevy C2500 bench seat in my '68 GMC C15. But, I just found some cheap replacement seat foam on ebay that I thought that I would share with you guys. Seat foam is normally well north of $200, from my experience. Because of the cost of seat foam, U-haul had apparently had a bunch of bench seat foam made to replace worn out seats in their fleet. They are now apparently getting rid of their inventory. The seat foam is only $39 on ebay and with tax + shipping to my door, it was less than $50! Foam seems to be of good quality, too. Their ad doesn't specify exact models and years, but I sent them a message asking what the foam fits and here's what they sent me in response:

These are the front seat cushion. Here is what they fit:

Chevrolet BLAZER 1995, 1996
Chevrolet C1500 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002
Chevrolet C2500 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002
Chevrolet C3500 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002
Chevrolet K1500 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000
Chevrolet K2500 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000
Chevrolet K3500 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000
Chevrolet SUBURBAN Base 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999
Chevrolet Tahoe 4DR Base 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999
Chevrolet Tahoe 4DR CLASSIC 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999
Chevrolet Tahoe Base 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002
GMC C6500 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002
GMC C7500 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002

Thanks for posting, I hope some can take advantage of this.

While I need new foam I have the messed up design idea of seat material that was glued to the foam in '93.

Ahh. That sucks! I agree, hopefully some more guys will get some cheap seat foam. Quality seems pretty good to me.

Thanks

Thanks, I just ordered one. I am not ready to start redoing the interior yet but hopefully in the next couple of months I will. Now I just need to find a good seat cover, anyone have recommendations? Something tough that can handle large dog.
