It's been a couple of weeks, but I figured I'd post a pic.

As mentioned previously, the covers are PUI, but the buttons are original. The PUI buttons are a great deal bigger than OEM.

Did you ever find out where to get the original size buttons.I'll hit the junk yard tomorrow to get some buttons,i'll try to find some similar ones at different places.

I'm sure something like an upolstery shop or sewing shop has something similar.

What size buttons do you need? I have an
upholstery shop at my house..Dont know
exactly what size the oem button are but
I have several different molds and a button
machine.

There are several sizes common sizes are
#22 #30 #35 #40 #50

This truck seat has #22 which is a very
common size used on automotive seat covers

I have no idea what # size they are, but the originals I re-used are 5/8" diameter. The ones PUI supplied are at least 3/4". Very noticeable difference.

Just took a look at my old original covers
they are 22's. Most any upholstery shop should have those molds and be able to make
buttons that size.

Chad

The covers look great!!
