Getting my seats reupholstered?

Well i want to get rid of these crapy cloth seats because im tires of spilling water and seeing stains! Anyways i was wondering what it would cost to get my seats(in my single cab) reupholstered to leather. It needs to look and last long. Will my center counsel, power driver seat, and driver lumbar **** be a problem??

Send aPM to Argo on this board. He redid all his with leather. It looks as good if not better than factory. Sorry I just cant remember where he got them. I Know it took him less than a day to do it.

Don't know if this is the answer, but there have been several posts about installing leather seat covers and how they look like factory leather. You actually have to remove the factory cloth seats in order to install them. I don't have any experience with them other than reading other posts. Here is a post that talks about it: <link>

Cowboy dave, did he do it himself? Im just trying to get an idea of the cost to get everything done, im not so good at making things pretty!

Yea he did. His only cost was his time, very little like I said, and his money. Its fit to your truck so making it pretty is like putting on a condom, if you can figure that out you should be fine with this. Shoot him a PM and he can tell you everything he did. Like say, it looks sweet.

back in 66 I bought a new Ford pick-up. Went for a trip down to Mexico. While I was there I struck up a deal and had them do the complete cab. I forget the cost but was very impressed how cheap it was. Course times have changed but maybe worth looking into. I remember they did a lot of it in a nice two tone diamond tuff to match the truck colors.
