Non-Leather Reupholstery w/ Electric Seats?

[thegogglesdonothing]

My 1997 40th Anniversary's got some pretty beat-down leather seats and for the way I use it, it makes a lot more sense for me to go with something like SOR canvas covers rather than re-doing the leather. My question is: is there a canvas/fabric option that fits the electric seats, to replace the leather? I plan to replace the seat bottom cushion and install seat heaters, and I'm not sure the existing leathers would survive being stripped off the seats then re-stretched over a new seat bottoms.

Am I missing anything glaring obvious? Is 20-year old leather even pliable enough to peel off / stretch back on a seat?

I'd love to replace my stock front leather covers with cloth ones.

I had a boat shop do my rear seats. It think it was around 300?

What material is that?

 

[mkmarz]

Backing/head rest/ arm rest are vinyl

The fabric is a little course but I asked them to match the oe fjc seats I have up front. They could have done a perfect match but it was $$.

How do you like the fjc seats ? Custom weld in or bolted right in ?

I had mine done in cloth and vinyl front and 2nd row for $1,200 local with new foam on front bottoms and as needed.

I like them alot. Comfy, arm rest is great. I think they take a little room from the rear passenger. But they really make the truck have an updated feel.

Custom brackets to make them fit.
