eBay never bought them. I'm saving for a Katzkin seat set with heated and cooled seats

I just installed one of the Dormans. It's a bolt-in replacement, not just the cover or the foam. This was fabric, though, not leather.

Presently RA is the best at about $144 plus shipping. Dorman 926-853. I don't know if left will fit right?

And I still want to know if they can be made to work with regular cabs by punching a hole for the seatback adjustment lever???

Awesome! I just noticed they were sold on rockauto too and am seriously considering it. Yes, they are interchangeable side to side. I've been sitting on the passenger cushion since about 2008.

You can also get the gray if you bump the Dorman part # by one....maybe -852 instead of **3?

I don't recall, and I don't care enough to go look right now...

Nothing groundbreaking here, but just did another today in a '99

I don't believe so although I haven't done an exhaustive search. Dorman's own website is pretty good if you drill down for what you want.

However, I would suggest that fabric is one thing but I would be highly suspect of Dorman's ability [read: desire] to supply quality leather. That said, I haven't handled such a product from them, much less do I even know it exists....so I may be bashing them without cause.

Probably not. Not like they have a stellar reputation for high quality products..... quite the opposite really, I am pleasantly surprised when a dorman product actually works right..... even more surprised if it lasts more than a month. I won't buy anything electrical from them. "Cheap" doesn't even begin to describe it.
