Custom comfort and seat question
 
So if I see a truck with armrests and dual visors does that mean it has the custom comfort option? Oh and it would have a passenger door lock too, correct?
But mainly I’m curious about the seat. Did some trucks come with more foam and cloth (vs vinyl?) covers?
I’m looking at a 60 c20 and from the pic I can see that it has dual visors, armrest on at least the drivers side, chrome ring around the dash knobs( and it does have cigarette lighter). I see no horn ring, and the seat looks like it has been recently recovered so that doesn’t tell me much about the seat. Waiting for ice to melt so I can put eyeballs on it.
Thanks

I am not an expert on the different options for these trucks. But, I picked up a '63 with a custom comfort seat and it had armrest and visors only on the driver side. The seat still had the original although ripped seat cover and it has extra/thicker foam then my other regular bench seat. This is just the example I have and am not sure how others would have come. Mine also looks pretty much intact and not changed from the factory.

The easiest way to tell deluxe/full foam seats apart from standards seats-

Standard have thin straight springs running front to back on the bottom cushion.

Deluxe have S shaped springs on the bottom.


I'm not sure if trucks that weren't ordered with the Z62 package but did have the Z52 full foam seat option had cloth covers or vinyl, but I'm pretty sure they were covered in vinyl. My '66 is optioned that way but had been reupholstered before I got it.

Thanks guys! Rbruno, what material was your cover, vinyl or cloth?

I guess the pattern area is considered a cloth because it is different then the border which seems like more of a vinyl.
