Re: highlander seatcovers?

He, truckseats, hasn't been on the board since July. And if I remember correctly he was having some real problems getting orders taken care of from the fella that made the covers.

Back when he was very active I bought covers from him and had zero problems. He's a good fella, just had major supplier issues. You can see in the review board area.

SMS Autofabrics will actually build the seat covers, too. They made mine.

It took about three months before I received them, but it was worth the wait, in my opinion!

Good to know. I THINK I can see it on your seat - but do the ones they build have the original scrollwork on the parchment vinyl?

Yes, it's got the scrollwork. I'll be happy to post better pictures in a day or two.

No worries, I just couldn't see for sure in that pic - I thought it looked like they were there. Orange plaid my favorite (even though I had a blue one) - looks great in your truck!

When I had my seat cover made quite a few years ago, SMS wasn't doing highlander covers yet, just making the material. Member truckseats was stitching them together. Back then the few aftermarket sources that made completed covers didn't have the scrollwork, but Tim and I both spent a good amount of time on the horn with SMS to have a prototype made. They did a wonderful job on a set of SADDLE vinyl parts... oops, and then redid them in the correct parchment. Was great working with Tim and the SMS folks. I know they are busy a lot, but they bent over backwards making sure I was able to get a correct, scrollworked seat cover and it turned out real nice. Greatly appreciated their help. My seat below. The truck "that got away" below that - a solid white Highlander C pkg Longhorn Custom Camper big block that I let sip thru my fingers. Wish to this day I'd bought it... Ha.

Re: highlander seatcovers?

I see these threads all the time. I'm having trouble finding the actual highlander seat covers. With or without the scroll work. I'd just like to see the place and the price.
Please and thank you

Re: highlander seatcovers?

Here’s the link to The SMS 1972 Chevrolet product page: 1972 Chevrolet .

It cost me $735.00 including shipping. Here are some more pictures that should let you see the quality of their work and materials.

I recently purchased, but have not installed yet, a green Cheyenne super bench seat cover from Tom. I checked it over pretty good and it looks like its going to be a great addition.
