Hey guys, I am looking for a place to get a new interior, possibly. I have the split bench up front in the dark grey cloth and HATE it. Should have got leather!! I have never liked leather but these seats collect everything!! I am looking at possibly putting in the buckets in leather. I am looking for a place to get new seats. Any help?! please!

If you just looking to change your seats to leather try Katzkins seat covers. I just put their leather seat covers on my truck and they look great. I found mine on eBay from a dealer of Katzkins. Their web site is:www.katzkin.com

I can second the Katzkins. Had them put in my last truck, very nice.

Also, the cloth has been changed for the 10 modely year (maybe 09) so if you can somehow get you hands on the new seat covers those would work as well for reducing the lint trap problem (assuming you have a gmt900, or 07 or newer).

Thanks guys, I will check out that web site. One question, Well I have never liked the look of seat "covers" Are these covers you are talking about, do they go over what I currently have or do i replace my existing? If they do replace my current cloth, how hard if a process is it to remove and replace? Thanks again!

These are new covers that replace the original ones in your truck. I did my own install and they turned out great. Total time to remove old and replace new was about 4 hours. Not really difficult, just pay attention on how the old stuff comes off,
This is one of the best improvements I have made on my truck.

I know what you mean about the lint, I keep a lint remover brush in the truck and always have to remove the stuff. Wish GM would come up with a new material for thier seats:(

These look GREAT, Again, wish I would have got leather to begin with. If i would have known the lint problem I would have. What kind of price am I looking at for those covers? That looks like a great christmas present to myself. I just put from santa and stick it under the tree and the wife will never know:D:rolleyes::D:rolleyes:!

My bad but I do have an 09 and it collects lint so maybe it is the 2010's that is changed

Hopefully it is 2010 then (which I believe is the case), although all dark fabric collects some lint. The original GMT900 fabric was terrible though, so anything else would be an improvement!

That looks really nice. I'm thinking about swapping from cloth "bench" to leather w/ console. I found a great junkyard, where the owner is selling the buckets/console/rear bench for $500, all day every day. His inventory changes every week, obviously, so I'm gonna pounce when I see a decent set come in. What do you have invested in the Katzkins? I also want to do a rear bucket set-up, with console out of a suburban/Denali XL/Escalade ESV. Wouldn't that be nice!

I purchased the Katzkins from a dealer on eBay for $199 Buy it Now, with free shipping. The dealers eBay name is autoleatherkits, he is located in Moore, Ok. I have been watching eBay ads for Katzkins and found his. I think the reason he sold these so cheap is that they have been in his inventory for 2 1/2 years. They were brand new in the original box with Katzkins sealing tape.

He's got a set in Dove Grey listed for $299 right now. The only problem is, that my rear bench has a flip-down cupholder, and his covers don't accomodate it.
Is your set Dove Grey?

Is Dark Graphic listed in the Ebay Ad the same as 2005 Dark Pewter for GMC?

The code AGM07 is different from the AGM01, AGM02 listed for my 2005 at Katzkin.
