Kiss my ass

[UNBROKEN]

If anyone EVER tells you upholstery on these trucks is easy you punch them square in the fuggin mouth.
I have all the tools and it's still kicking my ass.
Paying someone to finish it is looking better by the second.

Don't be a bitch... LOL

 

[SINNER]

LMAO How is just the seat bottoms?

 

[SouthFlstrokin']

See everyone even if your tatted up, looking like a bad ass, 7' giant. You can't put seat covers on. Pass the job on to the guatamalan LOL

That's why I took mine to have it done...and the guy only charged me $200!!! Dropped it off at 9:45 and he was done by 11:30, never ever took the seats out!!!

 

[UNBROKEN]

Don...if you don't have a hog ring gun don't even try it.
I had to take everything apart down to the frame since I'm cutting off the armrest brackets.

If I had known I could get it done for 200 bucks we would t be having this conversation. LOL

I'm a cheap ass, I would have tried to do it myself first LOL

He probably got that done from a mexican LOL, in all seriousness hog ring pliers are cheap and easy to use. I use them everyday at work...

 

[UNBROKEN]

I use them to make insulated pads at work...I have a pneumatic set. Makes life real easy.
All I have at home though is a hand set.
I'm bringing the good one home tomorrow and firing up the air compressor. lol

 

[Big Bore]

Damn, this thread may have saved me from losing my mind, and my truck from bullet holes, I was looking at doing padding and covers this winter.

 

[UNBROKEN]

It's doable...it just ain't as easy as I thought it would be.

My job is cheap. We will use hog ring pliers for 500ft of fence. Just tough it out...

How much to ship a seat to Texas....LMAO I will heed your advice on that one for certain. I drive past a shop 3 times a week and I will pay them a visit. Upholstery is one item on a vehicle I have no desire to learn. I would imagine it is one of those trades that the tricks learned over time are what makes or breaks a job.

 

[Dzchey21]

I've always wanted to do some of this stuff on my own, looks easy on tv lol, let us know how tomorrow goes rich, i would like to have leather in my truck

 

[UNBROKEN]

I had cloth, swapped in leather seats and now I'm redoing those in black cloth.
I can never make up my mind. LOL

 

[Dzchey21]

i dont mind the cloth too much, just like leather, if its too much work ill just leave them alone LOL

 

[co04cobra]

FWIW, I have replaced the hog rings in these and other seats with small zip ties to pull the covers tight. I am in no way a expert and just throwing a idea out there for some people that might try it themselves. For the most part upholestry work in general that I have done has been a PITA.

 

[jdgleason]

LOL so what are you putting in? Katzkin or ford covers or...?
