[QUOTE=capev86;4717091]Flint70step....don't ever tell me where you live....i want that narrow 2nd row seat to add a third row to my burb

there was a guy on the west coast (washington i think) that was selling the same exact seat on craigslist a few months ago. he had it listed a couple times but shipping would likely have been insane. the seat had been in storage since the mid 80's and was in really nice shape.

i'm including the photo you wanted. as i said before, the original cloth material on my seat has faded to slightly more gray. the replacement cloth will match the blue vinyl perfectly. i would suggest you cover the seat (white sheet to reflect sun and heat would be best) if the truck sits outside for any length of time...like mine does

protect it from fading more. you can get your own free sample from SMS at http://www.smsautofabrics.com/

Thanks for the Pic Capev86.Good luck trying to get that seat from me

The fabric looks great,quality material for sure.I really want to salvage the vinyl on the drivers seat and get the cloth for the inserts.Now to start hunting for a good interior guy who won't F up my vinyl while doing the repair.I wouldn't let it go cause its my son's seat(he'll say ''mine'' in a strong tone if you sit in it) but what would a second row seat like mine,in the condition its in be worth?The vinyl is perfect on it,even the back.Good idea using a sheet to protect the seat from the sun.My Burb has dark tinted windows and thats why the the seat is in great condition. Thanks for the link as well,much appreciated
