So Ive replaced nearly everything in the interior..Went with a desert tan spray in bedliner, black door panels, and painted the dash black..

Now I have these crusty reddish seats, and no more money to replace at this point..

So, what is out there that fits? Never bought seat covers..I think the front buckets are easy..The rear bench, not so sure...In addition, the local Autozone only has the hunters type camo covers..I want woodland camo, canvas, or the more modern digital stuff to look at least a little bit more official...

.Not sure if I need to knows anything that may help...
 
Hit or miss on the ones you buy at autozone, orileys, walmart... etc. I've had some that were ok, some that sucked. Seems like the more straps it has, the better and tighter the fit. And most of them nowadays are that sorta spandexy material, it helps keep it tight.

For more selection you could go on amazon. About the same price when you add shipping. As far as brands? No idea, never paid attention.

That is exactly what I did...I put these in.

The buckets are a little big..But work good. I think the CUCV seats are somewhat skinny/small compared to most modern buckets.

The covers seem decent. I haven't put it on the rear bench yet, but it looks like itll fit just fine.

Looks like you made up your mind, but I'll plug Marathon super hides. If durability is more important than comfort. Totally indestructible and great fit. I have them in my K5 and M1008.

Tell me about the ammo can console. I don't think I've found one big enough to fill the space between seats in the K5. Does the lid come open, or does it have to split along that diagonal?
 
Its a basic surplus 20mm ammo can, bolted to the floor. The front bolts merely pass through the floor and have washers underneath. In the rear, because of the slope of the floor, i used some painted PVC pipe (i forgot the size, i can measure if you need) under the can with extra long bolts passing through. Totally level, and fits perfectly. I went to the local boat dealer and got some cupholders, cut holes and glued them in.

I dont have it hinged or anything like that...I might. Really though it's just a big cupholder and I can keep some tools for emergency use in there..I dont really open it enough to justify the time to make it into a hinged joint.

The lid pops off the top horizontally; the diagonal is just reinforcement, if that makes sense.

If that's the size I'm thinking of, the lid isn't hinged on either end, but unsnaps on both and then removes entirely.
