DIY Seat upholstery
So it’s time to do the seat in my 39 truck. After watching how to videos on YouTube university I think I will give it a go and do the upholstery myself if I can find ready made upholstery covers for the seat. My original sear is in fair to good condition with a bit of mouse nest and the base wood will need to be replaced. I need/want a dark green seat as the seat and the other trim is green. In my searching I have only found blue or brown. Is there anywhere that makes a green seat?

Re: DIY Seat upholstery
I did not see any on their website. I looked on there last night when I was ordering a bunch of other parts.

Re: DIY Seat upholstery
Saw a couple of different greens on eBay. Does the truck have a bench seat?

Re: DIY Seat upholstery
ActionYobbo,I think imho tan or brown would look pretty cool in a green truck.are you interested in a mexican blanket style. in my '37 fordor i found a fitted slipover top of orig seat. being that you have a truck dont have to be concerned about seat back. i got mine frome amazon. Tom.

Re: DIY Seat upholstery
If you are going with a fabric upholstery. I used the same fabric as a late Ford Taurus.
It looks just like original 40 Ford upholstery |

Re: DIY Seat upholstery
I'm curious about this, as I need to redo the upholstery on my 1940 Ford Deluxe Fordor Sedan. Is it the headliner material you're talking about? And what year Ford Taurus? Thanks!

Re: DIY Seat upholstery
Now you have me looking at the Aztec patterns. I don’t want to be doing any cutting and sewing. I am more looking for a pre fitted stuff
