Redo leather interior

[chevykid91]

Hi guys, I want to redo my leather seats in my 1994 gmc Yukon, does anyon know where I can get the factory leather upolstery and maybe the cushions also. I have checked Lmc truck and jc Whitney with no luck. Any ideas ? Thanks

I don't know if they go back to '94 (I know they do '95 and later) but The Seat Shop might be able to help. www.theseatshop.com

I used them to buy new leather for my driver seat in my '97 tahoe and I talked with the owner Brian. He was awesome to deal with and the leather he sent me matched perfectly with my factory interior and the fit was fantastic.

good luck.

katzkin or roadwire, its not factory leather, but its leather? not sure what you mean by factory leather, you can get factory colors... or a local upholstery shop

I would like to keep the seats as original as possible. Just looking for a replacement for the original upholstery. It is a leather optioned truck and the seats are ripped. I also wanted to recover them myself instead of paying an arm and a leg at an upholstery shop. thanks for the info guys

redoing leather seats may be cheaper on the coasts but in Kansas, the local shops wanted $150 minimum just to replace the outer bottom piece that commonly tears. I ended up ordering 100% leather replacement covers for my '97 from the seat shop. I removed the old leather, hog rings and all. installed the new covers with new hog rings. The colors matched perfectly with the rest of my interior (tan). I did the seat bottom, seat top and the armrest. Looks perfect. My foam was in good shape.

Not cheap, but also not expensive compared to an upholstery shop. I think it was $400 delivered and the service/quality was top notch.

It would depend on the material for the budget, nothing too crazy since I'll recover them myself. I guess I really just want factory quality material.

i love the way katskins feel, but they are a little bit out of my price range
