My Experience with Bench Seat Upholstery Installation - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I used hog rings on the back cover just like the original cover I removed. The original cover had a single piece of wire inside the top horizontal edge only, and this wire had a wavy pattern bent into it. The new cover came with a fibrous plasticky rigid cord inserted in this spot, so I used that instead of the original wire. The side and bottom edges have no wire or cord (same as original). I wrapped the material back underneath the hog ring bars in the seat frame so the hog rings would go through two layers of material.

I bought the 67-68 clips for the bottom cushion from classicparts.com. The part number is 28-900, but I can't find them on their website anymore for some reason.

Fixed post #4 after receiving a PM about it. Replacement bottom side spring came from LMC, not USA 1 Interiors. The shipping on just the spring was actually quite reasonable from LMC ($4). That doesn't happen often these days.
