It seems like almost everything on ebay is quad cab. I don't know why they don't knock off more for regular cab, you would think half the seats, half the price, but that's not how it works. On my receipt the base price of my seats before options was $569, it's $699 on their site. Maybe if you ask them a question about regular cabs through ebay, they would offer to make an auction for one. I don't know if they would, but it's worth a shot.

Nice job! So how difficult would you say...on a scale 1 to 10 with 10 being most difficult? I'm looking to buy them for my truck but like you, I don't want to pay $500+ to have them installed. Did you guess on the colors or did you have samples?

I would probably give it a 7 for someone that has never done it before. Just take your time, and be patient and you"ll be fine. I have a sample book from Katzkins, you can get one here for $10. I had actually picked out Beach for the inserts, which is one shade lighter than the Puddy mine came with. But they were selling these on ebay for around $200 less than what it would have cost me to order them direct, so I took a shot.

Very nice! The c overs are actually easy to put on, it's the dissassebly/re-assembly of the seats that takes all the time and some knuckle skin..haha
I don;t think I would ever put leather in my truck unless I was doing cross country traveling. I like the fabric better for what I do. I like leather for travel as you can move a little more freely than fabric without your pants/shirt twisting all over on you.
When I was in sales, I refused to drive a fabric seat car, so I went ut and bought a leather seatted vehicle. I could sitin/get out of leather seats all day without my attire coming all apart and my dress shirt coming untucked from the back from rubbing on the fabric.
Okay, rant end.
