Re: What year is this seat ?
 

Ha Ha ......I should have stated that clearer I guess as we got off on pickup truck seats. Both of what your showing from the books are pickup seats, Not Suburban seats .In post one Im showing my Panel/Suburban style seat in my 66 Panel. We have it traced to 1962 1963 1964 and from bobdylan to 1965. Heres the 1962 Civil defense seat from the 11,000 mile 62 from years ago , same as my seat.

And this is the 1962 Pickup seat from that 1600 mile 62 , same seat as 63 Pickup but NOT the same as Suburban.

Maybe Ed Snyder can help you with that, he has both 62 and 65 Suburbans

Re: What year is this seat ?
 

Here's one more from a 66 Custom Suburban, It appears if you can zoom into it. It appears to have a very similar pattern to the pickups.

Re: What year is this seat ?
 

Shortly after I bought my '62 Suburban from Jim Jantzen (jimjaz on our forum) in 1997, I had the interior repainted and reupholstered. It is no longer stock. However, I do have one old photo from before being reupholstered. It's not the best view, but you can definitely see the seat cover pattern.

The second photo is much better, and clearly shows the '65 Suburban seat cover pattern. It is definitely different from the '62 pattern.

not trying to hijack the thread, but is there a source for the 62-63 pickup seat upholstery? either complete covers or the fabric? SMS doesn't list it...

Re: What year is this seat ?
 

Looks like that was a 1 ton Panel Ed ? Like to see pictures of it. As for the seats , I'm looking for the plain Jane vinyl , not the custom seat patterns . For 1962-1966. Thank you

Re: What year is this seat ?
 

That's fine , you basically have to send them a seat cover and they will heat form the pattern into the vinyl. I did it with a 1966 Chevy seat and it looks very original. I still need to send my 63 seat cover in to get it made. Jon

Yes, that was a one ton panel originally. There's a thread about it here: http://6066gmcclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48275
