Hey guy's thanks for the invitation!
I am restoring a 24 valve diesel.
Getting paint and body work by "Lucky" in Tampa.
I am trying to find some seat cushions and other interior pieces.
Any help is much needed.
Thanks

 

Moving to the correct section.

 

Welcome to DF!

LMC truck has a fair bit of what you are looking for. Some of it ain't precisely cheap though. Aside from them, it's the dealer, or junkyard.

 

Seems like the consensus for seats is to go to an upholstery shop. If you are not wanting leather, it ends up being somewhat reasonable. They can rebuild the cushion as well. No new factory replacement cushions around anymore. I have read about how the pass side cushion can be made to work for driver side, but I can't say for sure.

Other interior pieces are around in junkyards or craigslist. Don't bother looking for a replacement dash other than new, they are right next to the perfectly good driver's seats.

http://www.searchtempest.com/ this will cut craigslist searching down a little. You can decide how far you are willing to drive.

http://www.car-part.com/ Best way I have found to locate specific parts in yards. Not every yard is on there, but the list is long.

 

You can get exact replacement upholstery but they aint cheap. I plan on using the foam from a passenger seat and make it work. The link is on my other computer but it has a dead power supply. If i get it running i will post it.

Yes, the passenger side cushion can be used on the driver side. When I got my 2000 Dodge Ram the interior was wasted, especially the driver seat. Every driver seat cushion I could find at pic n pull was the same way, but all of the passenger seat cushions looked brand new. So, I bought one of the passenger seat cushions, and it bolted in place of the original cushion.


There are minor differences in the passenger side cushion, but not enough to really matter in my opinion

 

Did you have power seats?

 

I don`t have power seats (I wish I did), but it shouldn`t make any difference. The seat cushion mounts to the seat frame, so it should not in any way effect the movement of a power seat.

 

I was more concerned about the switch location...... I am unsure if they intrude on the seat cushion or not... I *really* need to do something about my drivers seat, but, it IS power......

 

It shouldn`t effect the switch location at all, most power seat switches are located below the seat mount location. Even if some modification was needed, it would not be hard to do.
