| Any low cost options for seat covers? Even something generic would be fine. Just looking for front seats. Just need to cover up my cracked oem seats. |

look at TMI. While it is apart you are likely to find some broken welds. Have them repaired while it is apart.

| If you want truly inexpensive seat covers check on Amazon. They have hundreds available. Just look for some generic low back/high back seat covers. |

Old beach or bath towels work nice. You can sew on straps, or simply drape them over the seats, tuck under the headrest too, or go over the headrest.
I use them in my Van and Jeep. Easy to remove and wash also.
For super cheap, look for the towels at a thrift store.
Available in a rainbow of colors and many many patterns. |

Mexican blankets are practically de riguer seat covers for buses. Even tho I slapped an old set of pre-68 covers on mine, I'll probably put the blankets back on - no sticky seats in summer, no cold seats in winter.
Whatever you choose, put new coir pads in. You butt wll thank you. |

| What did you end up getting? I was quoted $1300 for just the seats on my double cab from my go to upholstery guy. |

Do it yourself. It’s not a difficult job, but it is time consuming. There are a lot of instructional videos on YouTube. I did the seats in my Westy back in 2019. I just did the seats in my ‘65 Beetle and I think I paid around $500 for all the supplies needed. Seat covers, padding, burlap, jute and hog rings. |

for the seatbacks I just slip an old hoodie jacket over the back..
I tie and tuck the sleeves into them selves and then can use the sleeve holes for holding stuff like my thermos.
a tucked and tied towel on the base goes a long ways. |
