The 1973–1987 Square Body has a large bench seat that needs proper coverage if you’re using it as a daily or hauler. Here’s what works.
Square Body Seat Design
The 73-87 C10 uses a large 3-person bench with fold-down center armrest on some trims. The bench is bigger than the classic era and requires a 60/40 split fit or a full 3-passenger cover.
Best Options:
1. FH Group Universal Bench Seat Cover
The FH Group Universal Seat Cover is the go-to budget option. Available in multiple colors and materials (canvas, cloth, leather-look). The elastic backing fits the Square Body bench adequately.
2. Rough Country/Covercraft Bench Covers
Covercraft makes quality seat covers including their “Duck Weave” fabric that handles heavy use well. Good for work trucks.
3. LMC Truck Restoration Covers
LMC Truck offers period-correct vinyl covers that match original patterns for Square Body trucks. If you want OEM-style look at a fraction of reupholstery cost, these are the best option.
Pro Tips:
- The center armrest/console area can be tricky — measure before ordering
- Floor mats make a big difference too — rubber mats for work use, carpet for show builds
- Dash cover installation is also worth doing at the same time to prevent further cracking
