upholstery

Does anyone know where I can get Turquoise vinyl seat upholstery already sewn up to fit the bench seat? LMC and others I have checked don't seem to offer that color.

there is a local upholstery shop here in West Virginia that I deal with quite often that may be able to help. what year is the bench seat and do you have a pic of the color or a number for the color? Mine will be orange and he tells me "do you know how many different colors of orange there are?" so he will need an exact color if you have it. if not the shade of turquoise may be different than what you want. If you have a local shop I'm sure that they should be able to get any color you want. Maybe this helps a little. .Anthony

As tom said use SMS for fabric then have a local upholstery shop sew it up for you. I did that and it turned out beautiful.





Usually the places that do nicer street rods do a great job.

I may be doing the one in my turquoise truck too. Pretty nice original now but starting to show some wear

Looks like a great job on 64-66 custom cab seat, but has anyone ever done a 61-63 custom cab seat or 61-66 "standard cab" seat.

Wow, that did turn out nice. Did you have the original stamped gear and lightnin bolt in the fabric? I'd like to reuse my original embossed vinyl, but the guy I had look at it said he didn't know if they could reuse it or not.

That is one nice seat. The embossment is great. I have heard of SMS fabrics, my grampa got the material for his TBird there, but money was no object for him. I'm guessing you'd have over a grand in that seat?

think my total investment in seat is around 450-475.00
For me well worth it for the way it looks.

Figured I can do the whole interior for under 2k.
Includes dash, carpet/mat, seat, rechrome bezel, NOS Gauges etc

The lightning bolt also came from SMS along with the Upholstery.
SInce my original seat was decent it was copied pretty much exact to what I had and the Ford Brochure from 1966



Very pleased with how it turned out

Well I'd say you did very well if that came out under $500. It looks really great. Well worth it, and will really make your truck a standout. I have an extra bench seat in a parts truck, I think I'll hang on to it and eventually get the correct stuff from SMS like you did, and make a factory correct seat to replace the brown vinyl one I have now.
