[Bdhand]

Does anyone know of someone that has houdstooth seat covers. I would like to purchase some for my 66! Thanks

I'd check Bronco Hut or the eBay seller madeone4you.

May have to be custom made as a one off. The 66' seats have a different pattern then the 73 and up seats that had hounds tooth. Front seats anyhow....

I would stay away from the houndstooth. The PO of my bronco had the interior done with it and within 2 years of very limited use it is already tearing apart. My upholstery guy who is getting ready to redo the entire interior tells people to stay away from it, especially in the south because of the heat, humidity, and sun. Climate controlled garage for my bronco and it still gave out really early. Just my experience with the traditional houndstooth for the interior

Thanks for the info guys

I got my houndstooth from madeone4you, I live in the south and the bronco was a daily driver for 3 years and have had no issues. I do not understand the above comments about houndstooth issues and being in the south.

Just my personal experience. Neither right nor wrong, but now paying to have the seats redone with less than 2 years of minor use. Also the experi nice of a very busy high end custom interior shop. That shop has recommended a high grade marine vinyl for this application particularly if no AC in the bronco, which mine does not have yet and is year round without a top for 99% of driving.

Some of us want a certain look. vinyl doesnt do it. Yes vinyl is probably better for a bronco that doesnt run a top. But with heat, humidity and sun vinyl sucks talk about swap@ss. You dont get that with cloth. Even with my recovered houndstooth seats maybe about 15 years ago its the vinyl thats having the issues more than the houndstooth. While the hounds tooth is wearing but the vinyl is splitting.

I recently got my houndstooth upholstery for my 75 Ranger from Melissa at Bronco Hut. Now I would like to find some seat covers for the front buckets to protect my new investment while wheeling but can't seem to find any that fit. Seems all of the parts store covers are for seats with headrests these days. Any ideas?
