When it comes to [classic cars and trucks](<https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2024/08/why-classic-cars-and-trucks-are-making-a-comeback-among-car-enthusiasts/>), it is often hard to find a good, quality seat. Fortunately, our friends at Katzkin ExpreSew are now tackling this issue using their expertise. The results are amazing.

 

Our [1962 Chevy C-10 “Swede”](<https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2017/01/project-1962-chevy-c10-swede-update-road/>) is a family truck I’ve been working on becoming a much better daily driver. A good, comfortable seat is one of those must haves and [Katzkin](<http://katzkin.com/>) was at the top of my list.

 

## **Katzkin ExpreSew classic truck seat**

 

This new offering from Katzkin aims to create a quality replacement seat cover and not just a [cheap, mail-order variety](<https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2016/09/project-1962-chevy-c10-swede-update-new-seat/>) I’ve used a few years ago.

 

I took that cheap seat cover and sent it Katzkin for them to match the size and seat style.

 

After some back and forth with the design team, I eagerly awaited the result and wow was it amazing.

 

![Katzkin ExpreSew classic truck seat](<https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/img_5789-740x555.jpg>)Once I got the seat cover, I drove to a shop that not only installed the cover on the seat, but fixed an issue with the seat springs and incorporated a thick 3″ foam pad I ordered through [Amazon](<https://amzn.to/3RNi0iG>).

 

Then, I installed the seat back into the truck securing it to the truck cab.

 

At first glance, the seat cover looked so good, I wasn’t sure I wanted to sit on it! Then, I got over it and sat for the first time. It was literally like sitting on a high-end sofa. Yeah, its that good! Much better than our [2023 Chevy Silverado 1500](<https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2023/05/6-month-update-2023-chevy-silverado-1500-lz0-duramax-diesel/>) as a matter of fact.

 

![Katzkin ExpreSew classic truck seat](<https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/img_5790-740x555.jpg>)Katzin provided this flyer describing their services.

 

## ![expresewposter](<https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/expresewposter-740x958.jpg>)**The bottom line**

 

When Katzkin told me about this new ExpreSew offering, I jumped at the chance to get a seat done. Not only is Katzkin a leader in custom upholstery, I’ve admired their work for years. Finding a new classic [truck seat cover](<https://alexcar.com/collections/truck-seat-covers>) is nearly impossible and I predict Katzkin could be very busy with this endeavor.
