Hi, I am looking to get <span style="font-weight: bold">seat covers </span>for a 73' B, and I really don't want to spend the big bucks at the moment to have my seats recovered. My passenger seat is fine, but I would like something to put over the driver side that fits tight, and doesnt have that really cheap look, and could actually pass as a non covered seat? If nothing out there, then I guess I will have to break down and finally have my seats done at a different time. Just cant afford it at the moment with my other priorities.

Thanks in advance

So I didnt get a single reply on this topic, so I will try again.
I am looking for seat covers for my 73' B that look half way decent. Any ideas?

I've seen several options if I recall correctly at Moss, Victoria British, and elsewhere. Try places in England, too. You'd be surprised sometimes that shipping from the UK isn't that bad. I went ahead and completely redid mine, foams, backboards, leather upholstery, and cleaned and repainted the frames. If you do it yourself it's reasonably priced.
 
I completely redid the seats in my 80 with covers from Moss. To be honest the covers were not as much as the foam, webbing etc. I paid a little over $1200 for webbing, seat foam for the seats and backs, covers, a new dash and all of the interior panels.
If your padding is O.K you can easily do it yourself.
Here's pictures of my work....
