My drivers seat cushion is starting to crush on the outside edge. Having no running boards takes it toll. Does anyone know of a supplier that makes these.I haven't checked with Dodge yet. I thought I would see if someone else makes them as Dodge is not known for having reasonable prices.

I would be glad to give you the information but, maybe I should get mine done first to be sure that the match is right before you commit to buying sight unseen.Moore's Upholstery Shop (Bill Moore; owner)307 Mechanic Street Cumberland Md. 21502 301-777-9797

It is some kind of desert flower.

It is actually really nice I just have never seen one in real life nature. Always only have been ordering flowers by serenata. But I definitely want to see one before being plugged. I would love that.

I have got the same issue. I swapped the seat cushions so I could have the good one on my side. They will swap, but you can see it is not an exact fit. Plus they used a cheaper material on the side that now faces out and I dont think it will hold up for very long. I am going to try an upholsterer, they should be able to repair the foam and recover them. Have not got a clue as to what it would cost.

Just had mine done ..... the original ChryCo fabric apparently is not available anymore. Cost was $150.- for the drivers side. Upholsterer used a darker panel on both sides of the seat, and a very firm foam. It blends in well and doesn't kill my old back anymore. Good luck ..... Greg

Is it because of this?????????:lmao2::lmao: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCtiQTQQ7QA

I had my drivers seat recovered back in January. The upholsterer just sold the last bit of orignial material for the Dodge seats that he had. (isn't that the way it always goes?) He said that the manufacturer went out of business and there was no more available. He was able to order a material for me that was so close that you had to look really hard to see the difference. The little red spots on the original material was a pinkish color instead. I did the drivers seat and the material part of the door panel and left the passenger side stock. No one could really tell the difference.

Do you have the info for your upholstery man in Denver? We have the same rip in our front seat... and I would love to get a quote on a new seat...

There is a guy in Denver who does classic car upholstery mostly, but has done several dodge seats for my uncle. Message me if you'd like to know his name, he does very nice work and is extremely reasonable. He did some stuff on both my broncos and I was always really pleased. Sometimes takes his time a little but for the price and the work he does I've never minded.

I have been calling around to the salvage places to pull seats out of trucks and surprise surprise... these trucks are one of the most popular, the gentleman on the other side of the phone just about started laughing when I asked if they ever saw these seats in leather (which I thought maybe a nice upgrade if we were replacing the seat anyway)... I was also informed that many of the seats they do see are ripped along the edge seam... UGH... Honestly I am considering reupholstering them myself, but we have so many other things to do it would be nice to know what it would cost for someone else to do. I have yet to find a decent seat cover that accommodates the seatbelt let alone fits the seat well... Has anyone come across one worth spending money one? I wouldn't mind spending a little more on one if it fit well and wasn't made out of cheap icky material... Thank you!!

leatherseats.com nice looking covers there.If by chance you find a good set in the salvage yard, They'll be either: pricey, and close to unraveling too.

I was looking at leatherseats.com but some of those kits are over $800 ......then you have to install and get it tight I think an upholstery shop can do the truck for less than $1200

I brought a set of these 10 years ago and they are just now at a point they could be replaced, more ground in dirt then worn out. I've washed them 3-4 times, and the rear one is like new. http://www.wetokole.com/DODGERAMF.html Color match and fit are EXCELLENT and they make the seat much more comfortable because they are so thick (3mm). They aren't cheap, but in my opinion they are the only seat covers worth installing. When I peel them off for cleaning the factory seat covers look brand new. Unfortunately they don't stop the foam from wearing out. Hope this helps
