Aftermarket leather upholstered seats for the 1958

[LozFelizGirl]

I am buying a bare bones Land Cruiser 1958, How do people go about getting leather seats?
I'm in Los Angeles. Can someone recommend a place that can put leather seats in, or is this something the dealership can do?
Thanks!

I’ve had great experience with Katzkin leather. Visit their website. It will direct you to a local authorized dealer. All in cost is about $2000

I’ve seen pictures of a 1958 at a dealership with Katzkin leather. Looked like high quality leather. I’ve heard you can also ask Katzkin for extra pieces of matching leather to upholster the door trim and center console cover. You would need a local shop to upholster the door trim and console cover.


There is also a thread in this forum where another 1958 owner had some Katzkin covers installed.

I just put seat covers on the front two seats of my 1958. I have the same ones in my 2008 Tacoma.

I had Clazzio’s in my Tacoma and held up well, pain in the ass to install. They slip over the existing seat covers. If I do upgrade this time around I would opt for the Katzkin. They seem to have better quality all around.

I chose Katzkin Leather for my vehicle and very pleased with their quality and installer referral that was nearby.

Dealer put Katzkin in mine at my request.

Katskin, have the local shop that will fit them spec them and place the order, worth the extra trip.

That color choice for the katzkin upgrade is awesome. Do you remember the name for that color. Thanks

I 100% like that rich brown over the strangely muted and dull off brown Toyota went with. I thought I wanted the brown leather until I saw it in person.

Can you do the door armrest in leather on a 1958? It looks like a solid plastic piece

 

[Matthew@LC250Mods]

Katzkins all day. Significantly higher quality than factory leather and there are a ton of options you can customize. Most pay about $2,500 all in. Many Toyota dealers do dealer-installed, likely through a third-party installer they contract with. I would reach out either to Katzkins or your local Toyota dealership.

That’s a really good idea. I don’t know for sure but I think yes you can a interior shop do that when you get your seats reupholstered.
