However, that being said, I doubt anyone has the original fabric. So, anything "period correct" will work.

This is my take, & I was in high school when these trucks were new. Friends of mine bought these trucks, They were really basic in the early 60's.

Well, Rick, I am not sure why you would say the seats were plain regardless of whether or not you got a Custom or plain jane truck when if you start with my #1 picture and scroll down through all the pictures supplied by members in this thread I would say there is more than adequate photographic evidence to prove there was not only a difference, but a HUGE difference between a Custom cab seat and a plain stamped vinyl one. The seats are constructed and covered entirely differently.
Also, I just got my samples from SMS and they have NOS GM GMC fabric for the Custom seats and the correct off-white vinyl for the backrest strip, and the correct Fawn/Blue/Green/ Aqua vinyl for the front and rear surround vinyl. So I am ordering all mine Monday and will reconstruct the seat in this Custom cab 64 to look identical in every way to the photo of my original cover in the photo at the beginning of this thread.
