Default seat covers?

Does anyone know where I could get a set of front seat covers for '67 stock bucket seats? All the covers I am finding are for taller seats with headrests. I just want to cover up the cracked seats and make them a little more comfy until the budget allows new ones

Front seat upholstery only runs about $135. Seat covers will cost you about half of that. I would just redo the seats but if you want set covers I'm sure Pep Boys would have a set that would work.

All cars since about 1970 have high seats, slip covers for short ones would be a pretty small market.

You can get new upholstery for all 3 seats for under $200, and install it over a weekend. You can also get just the fronts, but don't do it- no matter how good the rear seat looks, new fronts will make it look bad. For the cost of a few tanks of gas, your interior could look like new.

Do the rear seat before tackling the front. It's easier, and a good way to practice for the fronts.

Yeah, the more I looked into it the more I thought that I might as well redo the seats, but then I will need new foam as well, time to clean and paint the frames, rebuild the tracks. The driver's frame is broken and sags, so either a weld or a new frame..etc. etc. .....I'll keep thinking about it!

Any idea what it would cost to ship them to VA? Porbably more that it's worth. But if they are in good condition it might be worth looking into.

So assuming 50 pounds for the two seats it would be about $65 to ship them.

Where can you get new upholstery that cheap? Slip over seat covers maybe, but true new upholstery (and certainly not leather) can’t be touched at those prices.
