looking for seat covers for my new (to me) ’98 chevy 3500 crewcab. Straight bench seats in the front and back. Willing to spend money on something that fits and will last. Point me in the right direction. Thanks

Not exactly what you're asking for, but I spent $300 and got my front seat recovered with new foam installed. Just another option.

Got one for an old 3/4 ton Chevy once from JCWhitney.
Nice cover, had a pocket in the front that would hold an amazing amount of junk too.
Lasted till I got rid of the truck.

Had My old f150 recovered. looked great and felt great. Still looked new after 5 years. Cost about $300 from local car upholstery guy. Way better than a cover from Pepboys for $50 which i tried first. Thing would not stay in place no matter what.

Nice products, I've used personally. I highly recommend them, the fit is perfect.
They're not the same universal "bench" or "bucket" covers you'll find in the parts stores. They're made to order, and to a specific pattern for your seats.
Cabella's has a tough Cordova (sp?) nylon covers. I have a set for my Silverado, and they shed spills, have a great pocket section in the rear and fit a variety of seats.

Tough, waterproof cordura nylon. Custom patterns to your exact seat. Hands down the best I've ever had.

Just watch you don't snag your femural artery jumping in and out every day! How many pants were the victim of those springs?
That's what the black wire ties are for!

The seat looks fine, but....
pink door panels????
tsk,tsk.
I;m surprised to see that there's a window handle crank there. Would of thought that a pair of vise grips would be there instead :-)
You laugh......when I had my 83 f-150, I always knew where my vise grips were :)
Dood !You need to get a rope and a packing blanket and cover that seat.Duct tape it first, then lay the shipping/packing/moving blanket on, and tie it down with the rope.

I prefer the more traditional seat covers.

Now that's pink I can get on board with.

Enjoy.

I thought he said SEAT covers.
He did and that's a fine example of a seat cover! I wish I had one for every seat in my 7 passenger van!

Looks more like a muffler to me.

These are the ones I like the best. Few years back, some people would write on the dispenser 'Ronald Reagan campaign hats, take one."View Image
They are still useful today to keep ones arse from getting soiled while sitting on the George W. Bush Memorial Pool.
