Im not sure about the exact brand but a good friend of mine back in HS had leather covers. he said the first seat you do is tricky but you figure it out after that. He said they are not easy to put on def takes a little time. But he said they looked good and had no complaints.

It was in my original list of things to do, I finally after hours of research found them for about 550.00 or up to 800.00 because i wanted the castano or chapparral leather (king ranch) look which they offer in a color called amaretto, This is a video link i found with step by step directions on installation http://www.truckblog.com/tv/katzkin_...r_installation . I spoke with a couple of people at the different suppliers for katzkin that said if enough people got together you could do a group buy and save money but no one else was never really interested, I think they are awesome and am just waiting for the funds to do it. By watching the video you will see they are not covers but actual OEM leather seat replacement material that you have to use hogrings and upholstery tools to get them on.

I remember seeing those on "trucks" back in the day. they look factory. For the money check lqk on ebay they sometimes have the oe seats for really cheap. they are salvage though not new

All it takes is some critical thinking skills (to figure it out) a basic set of tool and Some hog nose ring pliers (you can goto your local feed and seed and ask for a small pair literally)
We've done a couple for customers who ordered them on-line. They go on like OEM. We are working on getting licensed to sell Katzkin in house.
