Re: Correct original seat fabric picture needed!!
Hello,
I agree that SMS in Oregon is the best place to get upholstery. However, If you want "as original" I do not see anything like what was there originally. The original seats in both Chev & GMC were VERY basic. Doesn't matter if you had basic or custom. They were VERY PLANE. Nothing fancy. 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. Rick Rusconi |

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.

Re: Correct original seat fabric picture needed!!
Beg to differ with you, Rick.
What you describe as very basic and plain would be your standard-issue, non-Custom truck. The pictures of my 63 Custom Suburban showing all 3 rows in fabric and 2 vinyls were reproduced "as original" using OEM fabric from SMS. Your basic non-Custom pickup or Suburban from the day would also be lacking in things like armrests, passenger sunvisor, deluxe heater, and pretty much chrome anything. The hardest thing to bear in any non-Custom truck of the era would be the 100% vinyl seating.

Re: Correct original seat fabric picture needed!!
I also disagree with you Rick. The sample sent to me for my GMC seats for the cloth and vinyl sections are 100% identical. They make reproduction fabrics in house and to exact specifications. It is the closest thing you are going to get to original and far better than just "period correct"
