    GStage1 Always looking for parts!

    I have an article on our site about this subject.
    I have prices listed at the end of the article.

    You can use Legendary or PUI. Both are good. I think Legendary is just slightly better. Be prepared for a long delay, 8-12 weeks. Legendary has a huge order backlog.

    i purchased all the seat covers for my 72 gs , front buckets & rear bench, from legendary. i can tell u that the material is not as heavy a gauge as the original, but is is a good product. now that was in jan 2001 and the product was in stock.
    a trick that i used to remove as many wringles from the material as possible was to place the pieces, as i required them, into a pillowcase & tossed them into the clothes dryer for a few minutes to heat them up. bye, bye wrinkles.

    seat cover install

    I have installed many seat cover in my trim shop and the going rate should be around $275.00 for both. I would not attempt to do it myself as these seats are difficult. You really need a steamer to install seat cover.
