H3 Custom Interior?

[SC_Hummer_Guy]

So I really have had an itch lately to go in on buying a Championship Ed H3 and taking my existing mod list that some of you guys have seen and modifying it for that truck. What are your ideas on that first off?

Second and the reason for this thread, the one I'm looking at has cloth seats! I really want leather since its easier to clean, and when you have multiple dogs that love to ride with ya, well they drool everywhere so easy cleaning is a plus.

Does anyone know of a good shop that can swap the cloth for leather? I want to do a custom seat pattern anyways to match the Black/Blue theme of my truck.

Thanks
-Cody

*btw to answer questions, yes I'm painting the outside of the CE black!

Your best bet is to find a local hot rod shop or one that restores classics. They can guide you in the right direction locally. In Cali I knew many great ones, but haven't found one locally.

Your next best bet is to get Marathon to make some custom ones. Their quality is better than anything I've ever seen, and you pretty much pick any custom setup you can dream of. They are so well made, they don't look like covers.

You got a link to them Al? When I google them a lot of randomness comes up!

Cody,
I do sell CST leather seat replacement covers at wholesale. If you would like me to check pricing for a 3 let me know. I also have a Championship Edition with cloth seats...not sure what they were thinking!

Forgive me for this rambling, but:

So you wanna get a CE but paint it black...? Why not save yourself the costliness of a repaint and just get a black Alpha w/ Off-Road and leather? The CEs major claim to fame was the off-road package and unique silver paint/hood stripe/sliders/calipers. You can paint an Alpha's calipers red (or even blue), and on a black truck you wouldn't even notice the black hood stripe. If the only real redeaming quality of a CE in your mind is lockers and a V8, I just don't see the point in pursuing one when you can find those features just as easily (probably moreso) and likely cheaper in a "run of the mill" Alpha.

I mean, it's ultimately your choice for sure, and you can certainly tell me to take a hike. For what you have planned, I personally think just starting with a black Alpha would probably be a world easier.....just my .02, of course.

Try leatherseats.com, I have in touch with them for a custom H3T interior with orange piping and stitching.

Well after calling and talking to them, the guys are extremely rude and I really don't wanna do business with them. I have simply decided to stick with my 06 and upgrade everything! It will still have its nostalgia value to me, and I can say I built it from the ground up. Not worth driving to TX to have someone be an A$$ to me.

And you know what they say... EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas.

The other thing the CE had going for it was that it came with cloth seats. I have Katzkins and am happy with them. Their website dosn't show it well, but they are very customizable and you shouldn't have a hard time finding a local dealer. I've got a heavy waterproof nylon cover I put on the back seat when the dogs are in the truck.

I have Katsknz as well. Mine are like oem but with perforated inserts rather than plain. Got them brand new off eBay, the guy was having a close out or something.

Had two sets of Katzkins over the years.......I would highly reccomend them if you want/need leather.

I'm sick of the cloth in the '10 and am waiting for an uptick in the 'ol disposabe income so I can upgrade this truck.

Web site can show you basic styles for your truck.....but the dealer/installer is more help with actual leather samples.
