Replacing a Seat Cover Replacing a Seat Cover Just like an old nag can be easily spotted by the curvature of the back, the age of a work truck can often be determined by the condition of its seats. Col. Mosby, our 1974 Dodge pickup, came equipped with one of the most hideous seat covers known to man. It's made out of olefin. We don't know what an ole is, but we hope it wasn't necessary to kill too many of them for their fins. More taste can be found in a box of rice cakes.
Good sense prevails.
First, remove the old seat cover. Seat covers apparently can be designed several different ways, so you're on your own with this one. In our case, we mainly had to cut through a bunch of strings and snip some hog-rings. Be sure to not cut anything important. Try to lay the original seat as close to its proper configuration as possible.
