Thanks, I really love working on restoring these seats. When I see the before and after of a seat and how it transforms the interior of the our trucks, I just want to keep doing more. Of course, with my truck, I did a complete interior color change. And I didn't have an original seat, the PO had a 90's style bench seat in the truck. Because of the adventure I had to go on, just to find a seat and find someone to reupholster my seat, this is how all this began about 5 yrs ago.
The #1 thing that bothered me the most was, spending that money and only to find out that an upholstery shop ONLY does the upholstery. They don't touch the frame, tracks and all the hardware. They will just put a brand new cover over top of a rusty old frame, that 9 times out of 10, needs some type of repair. And most everytime, the tracks are so rusty, the don't slide very well, if at all.
Here's the before and after, of my truck.
