Ladies and gentlemen of the internet,

 

As the title line suggests, last weekend I picked up a 1997 Chevrolet Cheyenne extended cab, short bed. With only 95k miles on the clock it was too good of deal to pass up. The school district that had it since new seems like they took relatively good care of it. The paint is sun damaged (we'll get to that later), and the driver's seat is shot from 23 years of people sliding in and out of it. And like most GM trucks of this era, the headliner is shot. The rest of the seats are in almost factory new condition. Anyway, back to the question at hand. Does anyone on this forum know of a supplier for reproduction foam and seat covers? The truck has the basic "work truck" cloth seats, but I'm not opposed to upgrading them to the "premium" upholstery. Also, is there an online supplier you guys have used for the materials needed to refurbish the headliner?

 

Like always, any opinions or suggestions are open to discussion with me. Thank you in advance!

i believe any good upholstery shop can do both for you, , but if you want to do it yourself,  LMCTRUCK.com might be a place to start looking

LMC Truck was the first place I looked. I was profoundly disappointed by their lack of selection. They only had a cover for a straight bench seat. There was nothing for the split bench, or even buckets. 

 

I'm going to start browsing classifieds, but I may just wind up taking it to an upholstery shop, like you said.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
