    Hey guys.
    Where do you find replacement seat covers for a 73 w/ bench seats? They don't have to be exactly like the original, just similar. Any cross-reference with other Fords?

    I don't think anyone makes replacement seat covers for Mavericks.

    Any upholstery shop can duplicate your original cover ... They did my driver side 1973 style bucket and it matches the factory passenger bucket almost perfectly.

    Does that mean they had Maverick patterns available?

    Yes, I probably got mine 4 years ago. They had the patterns, and sent me vinyl pleat samples. I requested the horizontal pleats.

    I think they are made by autokraft, but automotive interiors was very nice to work with.

    Thanks

    They install with hog-rings like the originals. I used my original head rests after a good cleaning. They can be installed over the existing covers or you can remove the old stuff. I think that they look better in person than in the pictures, I took those pictures before I had a digital camera. Sometime I may put the front bench cover on a better seat, mine is a bit worn (springs). I didn't realize until I sat in Maine Mavs car.

    I've bought from them for both Mavs. Nice folks, good prices, good quality.
