Well done!
I went a different route. I bought a seat and steering wheel from eBay that was a take off from a new truck (at the time).
Using a steam gun makes the job easier and looks sharpe.
Again great job,

I want to do them before my daughter gets old enough to spill stuff all over my backseat. They're already stained enough from the previous owner.

Wow. Nicely done--I LIKE IT!! Thanks for the tip on the manufacturer. Leatherseats.com For anyone going to the site, you have to specify year, make, model, cab, and for QC or MC split or solid rear seat. Also, be sure to click on the color samples link once you select some seats. Very nice...

WoW, that looks great!


So is this install possible for a guy that has absolutely no experience with upholstery? Any special tools required?

My drivers seat is ripped bad and has a few burn holes in it (all from PO)and the upholstery shop wants nearly $400 to fix it. I would much rather spend another couple hundred (as long as I can do the install myself) and get a full set of leather seats... seems much more logical, especially for how sh!tty the factory fabric is.

You can definately do this. It's even easier if you have a buddy to help out. We put castkinz on my friends truck and it was pretty straight forward. There are tons of great videos on youtube for this.
