I am guessing the yardage is 60" wide. I would have to go look. Supposing this, you would need at least 6 yards depending on the direction of the grain. The bench on a Westy is a little less than 4' long. You need 4" on each side so 56". Non Westy would be more. I would have to measure, but I am guessing it is at least 5' long. Carat bench is a couple inches shorter than the 7 passenger van. Someone here I am sure, has measured them exactly. Good luck with your project!!!
