    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone knows of an upholstery kit for the 1st gen seats. I have a '66 Sportvan and the seats will need to be recovered. Looking for ideas to fix them up.

    Are you doing just the front seats? Do you have a jump/Pass seat?

    If there was an early "Least Wanted List" They'd be running neck and neck with clutch pedals.
