Dodge pickup 1970 upholstery

I worked in an auto trim shop in the late 1980's for a while.
Let's really dress up this 1970 Dodge pickup upholstered bench seat.
 This isn't the original upholstery.
Gonna dress up the exposed steel hinges.

 The owner chose the tan fabric from a book. The black is from the in house stock.
A good quality marine grade vinyl to keep the "tough" truck motife'.
Below shows the half inch sew foam glued and channelled in house, with very strait lines.
 After 42 years the stuffings need some attention.
 Fresh burlap just like original.
 Stuffings reset with additional cotton.
 And the cover all tailored ready to be fit.
 And the finished bench seat.
 The hindge areas of upholstery seats often become a problem.
These worked up nice and clean.


Thanks for looking!
