TMI Bucket Seats for Trucks: TMI Pro Classic
TMI Pro Classic bucket seats come in over 5 different styles to match the taste of just about all classic car and truck owners. The TMI Pro Classic bucket seats come pre-upholstery, ready to install in your classic truck using TMI's vehicle specific brackets. These bucket seats will bolt directly in and will also allow you to add a center console in most trucks made after 1960. While TMI Pro Classic seats come standard in black, we offer the ability to completely customize your interior with any material that TMI has to offer.
Why TMI?
TMI has been making interior for classic cars since 1982. TMI started in the air-cooled VW market, making door panels and has since expanded into more than just door panels and much more than just air-cooled Volkswagens. TMI Products has always taken pride in providing high quality products that give you custom upholstery shop quality, but at a price point for the automotive aftermarket.What is the Difference Between the Pro Classic Styles?
- TMI Pro Classic Sport - These bucket seats come standard with matte black vinyl and your choice of contrast stitching. No unisuede, no grommets
- TMI Pro Classic Sport R - The Sport R has the same overall seat pattern as the Pro Classic Sport, but the Sport R features black unisuede "wings" to give your interior a little more modern appearance and to break up the seat, giving it a two-tone black appearance
- TMI Pro Classic Sport X - TMI Pro Classic Sport X seats feature grommets down the center of the backrest and seat bottom. The pattern and materials are the same as the Sport, but the center is broken up with the grommets. You have your choice of color of contrast stitching and your choice of grommet color. The color behind the grommet will match the color of the contrast stitching in standard configurations
- TMI Pro Classic Sport XR - THe Pro Classic Sport XR is essentially a combinaton of Sport R and Sport X. These seats have the grommets just like the Sport X seats, but the Sport XR has black, unisuede wings like the Sport R.
- TMI Pro Classic VXR - The TMI Sport VXR pattern is similar to the Sport XR, but the shape of the wings is a little different, the inserts in the middle of the seat come standard in black unisuede, and the stitching pattern is a "V" pattern instead of a straight, horizontal, ladder pattern
- TMI Pro Classic Sport GT - TMI Sport GT is one of the newer seat patterns from TMI. The Sport GT seats have a contrasting black twill insert in between the different sections on the seat bottom and back rest. The Sport GT pattern is designed to give your seat the appearance like you have separate, articulated seat sections making up your bucket seat.

Can I get the TMI Pro Classic Seats in Colors Other than Black?
Absolutely! One thing that makes us different than many of the other TMI dealers is that we will take custom orders. If you want your TMI Pro Classic seats in a tan, red, brown, gray, blue, turquoise, or any other color within TMI's offering, we will order you custom seats, saving you money and free shipping versus buying them direct. We have been sold more TMI custom interiors than anyone else in the world, and we can say that with strong confidence. If you want a VW Green and a Mustang tan, with brasss grommets, and orange stitching, we can do that for you. We will probably call you ahead of time to make sure you really want an interior with 4 clashing colors, but if that's what you want, we will get it for you.What Type of Warranty is Included?
All TMI Products come backed by a lifetime craftsmanship warranty, and that includes these Pro Classic seats. TMI guarantees that your seats will stay together for as long as you own them. This warranty applies to seats that come apart at the seams, not something that has been abused or mistreated. The seats are not warrantied against you sitting down with a screwdrivign in your pocket and poking a hole in your seat, or your dog jumping on your seat and its claws poking a hole. But, you can buy with confidence knowing that the stuff your are buying is backed the manufacturer. Oh yea, all TMI Products are sewn in house at their facility in Corona, CA. These Pro Classic seats are not sewn and assemblies in Asia.What are My Center Console Options?
If you have a 1960 and newer vehicle, TMI makes a console that will fit between the bucket seats, and directly onto the seat mounts. The TMI Pro Classic center consoles are available in three different styles. The Standard Pro Classic console is a waterfall style console that starts up at the shoulder at the backrest and comes down to the seat bottom by the knee. It is available with and without grommets, and in both single and two-tone configurations. The standard TMI Pro Classic console ahs two cup holders aligned in vertical formation, with one in front of the other. One of the down falls of the standard TMI Pro Classic seat console is that it did not offer any storage options. To solve this, TMI came out with their Deluxe style console. The TMI Pro Classic Deluxe console comes in a similar style, but the slope is steeper as it comes down to a little arm rest and store bin. Like the standard console, the Deluxe console is available with or without grommets, and it can come two-tone. The Deluxe console has two cup holders as well, but in the deluxe configuration, the cup holders are next to each other, one on the driver side, and one on the passenger side. The newest Pro Classic console is a buddy-seat, arm-rest configuration. This mini seat/console configuration has a small, fold down arm rest that can serve as a seat back if you have a child and you want to sit three across. Please be sure to adhere to all local and federal saftey laws regarding seat belts and car seats if you opt for this style.Standard

What about those Grommets?
The grommets on the TMI Pro Classic seats are usually get a "Love 'em," or "Hate 'em," response. The grommets are available in three different colors and they can totally change the way a seat looks simply by changing the grommet color. On a TMI Pro Classic bucket seat, black grommets tend to blend in a little bit more and can provide a subtle accent while also allowing bringing in more contrast if you decided to go with a stitching color other than black. The Silver grommets tened to stand out more than the black, but depending on vehicle, the stitch color, and the overall theme of the interior, they can really set the seat apart. If you hate the look of the grommets, but you you like how the center section breaks up the seat, give us a call and we can definitely work with you to get your a pair of custom TMI Pro Classic bucket seats for your truck. Check out the images below to see how the same seat changes when it has black, silver, or brass grommets.Grommet C0lors

TMI Bucket Seat Brackets for Trucks
In order to mount these TMI Bucket seats in your truck, you will need to install brackets to accomodate the seats. TMI has come up with year ranges in order to make installation as easy and simple as possible. We offer brackets for both Chevy and Ford trucks, starting in 1947. In addition, TMI also offer universal mounting brackets so that you can install these Pro Classic bucket seats in any vehcile you choose. However, please note that the universal TMI Pro Classic seats mounts do require you to weld, so make sure either you, someone you know, or a shop you trust can fabricate the brackets together. The standard, vehicle specific mounts DO NOT require any welding and offer simple, bolt-on installation.Early Style

Ideas for Custom Seats
We are one of the few TMI dealers that will offer, sell, and support full TMI custom upholstery. We have been selling TMI interiors for over 20 years, and much of that includes custom upholstery. We have probably sold more TMI custom upholstery than anyone else in the world, including TMI selling direct. We know what they can do, what they can't do. Where the patterns start and stop, what materials can go where, and we can usually tell you why they can't do something, if that becomes an issue. An example of this, is back in the day when tweed was popular, customers wanted to do all tweed upholstery. If you called and talked to TMI direct, they would tell you that they can't do it. We knew, they actually could, but due to the cross-hatched design of tweed fabric, the stitching would just not stay long term. You could order it, but they wouldn't warranty it. We worked with out customers, and if they really wanted tweed on tweed, we would do it. We warned them against it and told them what would happen, but some customers just want what they want, and we are here to help you do that. We actually have made it so that you can design, preview, and order custom TMI Pro Classic bucket seats online. Click here to start building, or, you can take a look below at some of our favorite customizations that will set your interior apart from the others.- Houndstooth - Add houndstooth cloth inserts to your favorite seat style. While many people opt to put it in the center inserts of a Pro Classic Sport or Sport X bucket seat, one of our favorites is to replace the Unisuede on a Sport R seat with your favorite color houndstooth. We had a customer order this one time a several years ago, when TMI first released the Sport R upholstery, before they even made complete, bucket seats. We took it out to make sure it was made correctly before shipping it to the customer and were blown away by how good it looked.
- Perforated Inserts - Adding a perforated insert to the TMI bucket seats will give the seat an improved, more modern, high end appearance. The perforations in the black vinyl give the seat some additional texture in the middle and transform it from a single color, charcoal black seat to a two-tone black seat, all while keeping the classic appearance of a black interior.
- Hot Rod Red - This color is amazing! If you want your interior to pop, going with TMI's Hot Rod Red color is the answer. We like paring it with some black to give it a little contrast, and make it so that it isn't so over-the-top red, but this color is fantastic.
- Whiskey/Cork - The dark tan combination of the cork vinyl and the whiskey unisuede just work so well together. You can even add some black inserts, or a black outer/back section to your seat for a truly modern interior that isn't black.
- Distressed Vinyls - Distressed vinyls are super popular right now. They look really good in old trucks and make your interior look like it is leather instead of vinyl, but with the texture that for some reason, just works so well with old pick-ups
- Plaid - TMI recently released automotive grade plaid materials that they will use for the inserts on Sport, Sport R, Sport X and Sport XR TMI bucket seats. We like it for Sport and Sport X the best as we think the additional zone for the unisuede is a little too busy. With 6 different plaids, there is definitely something that will work with your classic Chevy or Ford truck.
