I have a '87 suburban with bench front and 60/40 rear seat. I'd like to get seat covers for it. Would like to have canvas/cordura material that fully covers the back of the seat.
any recommendations?
photos would be great...thanks

I'm looking for seat covers too. It seems that full bench seats are not widely supported anymore. The only covers I seem to be able to find are the saddle blanket type, but I'm leery of those based on reviews.

Holy canoley. They work, but for $250 I'd just take it to a reupholster guy.

Personally I was looking for a decent $30-50 cover. I was actually thinking this one

I would be interested in what you find too, I need something to get me by until I figure out what I am going to put in permantly.

It definitely seems like you either get crappy quality saddle blanket covers, or you spend $200+ on facy-ass custom covers.

Where did the old-school $40 seat cover go???

I think I'll just go with the saddle blankets for now, I hate to spend a lot knowing it is only temporary.

OK, I understand what you're looking for.. You want a cheap "throw cover", not something that's fitted..I found the brown one in the eBay "ad" at Walmart for $19.95 and no shipping.. They had it in stock.. The fit is crappy and is held in place with elastic straps..

I was quoted $400 and $500 from 2 different upholstery shops, so the $250 for a fitted seat cover looks pretty good..
