Hi Joe
You are right, the set of canvas upholstery for the 2 front buckets and the
rear bench run from 350-400 but are very good.
Roger on the seat covers and the straps. By the way if New Life gets their
product out for the CUCV it will be good also.

Glenn,
You are right about Rick and his upholstery, but the
original subject was about seat covers. Covers are just
that, they cover the upholstery. The original style '09
covers have two straps on the bottom and use Velcro to
hold the cover in place. Because the older NOS canvas
is usually shrunk, the straps barely hold, if at all.
I had covers made to protect my original vinyl and got
near original looking pleated vinyl upholstery from an
outfit in NM or TX for my M1008. The pattern is not exact,
but the color is pretty close. This replaced the original and uses hog
rings, the real deal. A local auto upholstery shop did the installation. New
made canvas covers for the M1009 are about $75.00 (front seats), the
upholstery for the '08 bench seat was over $200.00, plus installation. Joe
