Blue Houndstooth Interior

[fasteddie]

I am looking at buying a 73 Explorer that has roughtorn driver and passenger seats which is original blue houndstooth. They definately needs new covers and I love the houndstooth interior. Is there a manufacturer of the correct seatcovers or would I have to recover with the white vinyl. Seems like I can find the white vinyl all day long, but not the houndstooth-blue. Also, the floor mat needs replaced and I really like the Bronco Stamp in front of the 4X4 shifter, does anyone reproduce this item as well. I have heard the EBroncos have a faithful following, and I drove my first one a couple of days ago. I guess you could say that I am hooked as well. What fun little Trucks to drive and they seem very simple. It is great that Ford made so many of these with V8's. Thanks for reading/viewing my post. J. E. Doughty Colorado Springs, CO

Also you might ask upholstererman if he would make some for you.

I agree the logo is cool but I don't think any of the aftermarket mats have it. Too bad too 'cause I bet they'd sell alot more of them with it.

There is source...somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. I don't know if I still have the info saved. It is expensive.

Don't think the floor mat is reproduced with the bronco emblem.

upholstererman did give me a place in the pacific northwest and they do have the houndstooth but it doesn't come cheap. The place is SMS auto fabrics in portland, OR phone number is (503)234-1175. They had a perfect match for my ranger interior and you pay upholstererman and he would make the seat covers for you. I was quoted for the houndstooth of 85$/yard (ouch) but it is exactly like the original. good luck. BI

Check with Omega on the board. I know he has a blue one, not sure if it is the houndstooth though. PM him.

As far as the floor mat goes I bought mine from Tom's Bronco parts about 10 years ago and it has the bronco script on the tunnel cover. HTH's

Before you buy any material make sure you have the Houndstooth interior.
The 73 Explorer came from the factory with "Random Stripped Cloth" which is simmilar to the Houndstooth.
