Thinking About Selling my FJ40 Seats…. Help me figure out what to sell them for

[knuckle47]

I replaced these seats in my ‘75 FJ40 with the ProCar 90 series as a quick and easy replacement option. Here are a few photos of the recovered originals and the door Cards. The driver door card has a map pocket.. something I miss already

Not sure yet that I should sell them and make space in my garage or throw them into storage and let my kids toss them out one day under the guise of, “what was my crazy dad thinking by saving all of this s#!t”

Any clues on what they could sell for?

The door cards match the seat fabric…

They look nice. I would list them in the classified as make offer and see what happens. I'd bet shipping will be expensive so maybe local pickup would work better for everyone. How much did the new seats cost?

 

[knuckle47]

With everything including the new headrests ..about $825

My experience with FASTENAL has been very positive though a 4x4 pallet with engine was $200. Trans/transfer case about $190. This could be less but I have no clue

Thanks Charlie

Does Fastenal ship nation wide. Been a while but remember they would not ship from Texas to Arizona. They was a north to south line they didn't ship across.

Good question…used them twice but I think 1 of them was to Indiana from the east…. Gonna need to check

Good to know that the carpet matches the drapes, so to speak …

Can’t help you with the value though; mine were in rougher shape than yours, and I gave them away to someone semi-local who came and picked them up.

They don't cross east west.
Mississippi River i think is the line.

I believe the line is further west. Remember thinking of buying an axle out of Texas and Fastenal was not an option. Shipping was the issue. Too bad because a lot of out of markets parts coming into Texas. Current fuel prices are going to make it even more expensive. Really like the seats. I prefer cloth over vinyl in Arizona. But shipping I'm sure is a deal killer.

They won't go west of the Rockies


Or at least s few years ago they wouldn't

A couple years ago I sold the front passenger seat from my 1971 (bench seat) in its original upholstery, I think the buyer paid $500 plus shipping. UPS from Houston to Long Island NY was IIRC about $275. Hope this info helps.

Al’s seats are in drop in and go condition. Add up the time and materials it takes to do a nice recover job…..
