Hi all,

I would like to buy a seat re-upholstery kit for my 72 elcamino but the split bench i have doesent seem like any photos i can find. is thsi even from a GM product?

Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure those are not stock, if they are gm they look like caddie seats from the late 70s

X2 on the caddy seats

first pic is from a 76 coupe de ville, 2nd from a 75 de ville conv't. 1974 seats have narrow pleats, and are totally different. I would say yours are from a 76, and they do make factory reupholstery kits for those if you like them. OR you could pimp them out in fur like the guy has near the start of Magnum Force (Dirty Harry movie) LOL

Thanks guys - ill save my big pimpin for my 75 eldo convertible. Those seats pictured are now out (free if you want em).

I walked the pick a part yard yesterday, occaisional almost good enough seats. A nice dark blue caddy leather set. But nothing awesome.

I ended up buying off Craigs list "new" Honda Oddesy leather second row seat set in dark charcoal color. They slide and fold down flat.

With the seats out i see the floor pan pasenger side needs some work... so more project.

How is that Honda seat going to clear your driveshaft tunnel??

it seems to clear just fine - the console is a seperate assembly (3 pieces).

I didnt bolt down the seats in thsi pass but they are dropped in. I will remove the bottom track to drop them 4 inches after I do the floor pan and carpet work. They seem to fit the tranny and door sill valley.

How are you going to get into smugglers compartment? One on passengerside might lean forward.

Definitely NOT 70's caddy seats. Caddy seats are flatter and wider. Not sure what that crest on the headrest is?
Chrysler maybe?

 

[jpmdaddy]

It is Fine Corinthian Leather...... as the Cordoba commercials used to say - I'm just guessing.

But very cool that it your replacement is in 3 separate pieces - post pics after install, please.
