My 1996 C1500 Cheyenne extended cab has what is apparently the rarest of rare front seats. It has a 60/40 split bench, without a folding down center console in the middle, and with the 60% part on the drivers side, 40% on the passenger side. Year models from 1988 to 1995 were apparently a 40/60 split with the smaller part being on the drivers side. Not sure why they changed it. But apparently this particular front bench seat was in about 5% of the GMT400's made, from something I read elsewhere. And while some Silverados had a 60/40 split bench, they included a fold down center armrest or console feature, whereas my Cheyenne the back of the seat has no fold down section, but is solid.

My drivers seat is pretty much trash, and has been held together with duct tape for years. The foam is absolutely shot, and this was apparently on a recent drive around town. Part of my slow restoration of the vehicle needs to include fixing that seat. The passenger side of the split bench, and the rear folding bench, are in near pristine condition.

I've found a few slip on seat covers, over at RockAuto, and even there it cautions you that this is a rare 60/40 split, and be sure you don't have the 40/60 split. But those are seat covers - what I really need is replacement upholstery and foam.

I hate the thought of spending a couple grand at a local shop, when I have the capacity to fix it myself if I can find the materials. I've found foam for full benches for that generation, and may end up buying foam for a full bench, and then cutting it down to fit. Still leaves the seat cover itself. Found those, but for a Silverado 60/40 split, but only the bottom seat cover would work, as the back cover is for that seat with the fold down armrest/console.

I know this is a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone else out there has ever come across covers or foam for this particular seat?
