Lookie what I found today

Post by Ranchero50 »

My truck has a saddle blanket style cover on the seats. It's in two peices and hog ringed on so I figured the seat was trashed, but I couldn't feel any bad spots in the top. Removed the top and cleaned it up. The bottom is ripped where my but goes so I left the bottom half of the cover on. Still looks a lot more original without the cover. I just used some gojo hand cleaner and a soft bristle brush go get to dirt and sweat out of the grain in the seat.

Another question is what vintage does this cover look to be. It was in two peices with a thin cord drawstring. Just wondering since I'm not sure how 'new' I want to restore this thing.

Yeah, see some people actually put on seat covers BEFORE they wear a hole in the seat or tear it up. Strange concept and I'll be doing it when I have a recovered seat.

A guy down the street just bought a '51 Ford from his uncle who had it stored in a garage for the last 20+ years. Long story short, the original owner was an upholsterer and made a seat cover out of vinyl the day he got it home from the dealer. My neighbor pulled the cover to the side, to show me the original blue and white pinstriped seat, never even sat on!!!

We had a 50 Ford car that had covers put on them from the day it was new. Pulled them off and the seat was like new.
