Did you get the seat cover somewhere or is it custom?

Although, it is not OEM material, it is OEM pattern. The upholstery is available for this "contour" bench seat. I reupholstered it, but bought the sewn material.

Sewn material like it is already sewed? Where do you get that?

I have the contour seat in mine but it is red. I get tired of fighting seat covers and would like to make it tan and have been striking out at finding a tan seat.

Yes, just as you see it. If you have ever reupholstered before, no different. You have to hog ring it, etc. The upholstery is called 4x4 bench seat. Not sure why they consider the contour a 4x4 LOL But that is how I found it. I called the company that actually makes it, to verify it was exactly how it looked in the picture. It was. https://www.stockinteriors.com/SeatUpholstery.asp?Itemid=23374&ModelId=216

It was. I bought it through Stock Interiors. Rock Auto sells it too, but for some reason didn't list the color I wanted. https://www.stockinteriors.com/SeatUpholstery.asp?Itemid=23374&ModelId=216
