M1009 Seat Re-Upholstery

[motormayhem]

I want to get my front and rear seat re-done. From searching here, it seems the early 80s camero seats are the closest match? Is there a source to get new vinyl for the seats (in the right color) that I can install or am I best off going to local upholstery place and having them work the seats? Anyone know a good upholstery shop that would be up to the task in Tucson if I needed to go that route?

This was the info I found:

New Seats for CUCV

Good clean up. Congrats on the attempt and the success! I am NOT an expert though. All that really matters is that you thought about it, you planned it, and you DID it! ENJOY! God bless, Tony:wink:

Compared to modern seats, the ones in our trucks are real easy to remove and change out the covers on. As long as you are physically able to remove them from the vehicle and have the right tools available, it's a pretty easy DIY thing. If you go the route of the covers and new seat cushions from LMC truck, its going to run you about a grand for the pair of both front seats in vinyl. They have tan, red, gray, blue, and black.

There are other vendors who have covers, LMC is just the first one i though of.

I'm pretty sure LMC does not sell Camaro seat upholstery, which is what you need for an M1009.

I redid the seats in my truck a few years ago, and I'll edit this post later tonight when I get home with a link to the vendor I ordered foam and upholstery from and photos of how it looks installed. You can't get the exact stock color and patterns as far as I found, but it's pretty close

These are the only photos I have on my phone. Before replacement:
