Were the "cheap seats" only available 67-68, but a better one put in some trucks? My 68 is a Custom, and my 1970 is pretty plain jane, I cant tell the difference if any. What is strange to me is that my dad bought that truck in 1972, and it had cloth inserts in the seats as long as I can remember. I do remember he had it fixed once to repair a torn seam, and I think they replaced the center section of vinyl, but I don't think anything waas changed. I had it recovered about 10 years ago and put in some fabic inserts similar to what was on there, but that was before I knew about "houndstooth", which I'll bet that was what it was, so I don't have the original now. Places I've contacted say there was no cloth inserts available in 68 and only vinyl seats were used. I know this truck has always had some kind of fabric inserts, but I also know that it did NOT have any type of scroll in the vinyl. I think it would be unlikely that the entire seat was recovered or replaced when the truck was only 4 years old when we acquired it. Truck has red/orange exterior with white top and red interior with red vinyl. Any clues or am I losing my brain ?
