Unfortunately I've left my leaky '88 Dak outside for decades, and while it's still a good work truck the seat is now moldy and needs replacement. Since it is a work truck/beater truck, what is the cheapest option for replacing the seat? Does anyone know of a cheap aftermarket brand that would fit, or should I just reupholster the seat I have? I don't want to spend more than $200, if at all possible. Let me know what you think my options are. Thanks .





(P.S. I own a 1988 Dodge Dakota, Four cylinder regular cab/bed)

 

I'd check the boneyards first - any 1987-1996 full bench should fit. Others may, but will require adding the front bracket and the reenforced rear holes for the other types of seats.

Definately a parts vehicle is in your future...

 

You can probably pick up some Vinyl or interior cloth at Walmart or Joann Fabric or something. I know you can find foam core for cheap at transfer stations or even Goodwill. An afternoon can get you a brand new seat. That or try ZEP Degreaser. Only stuff I've seen that'll get 80yo mold out of baked leather.
