The Z62 code is correct for my truck but the seat is specifically listed as RPO 607 (Blue Custom Cloth Trim).
thanks for the info!

Well I am telling you, still, that is a replacement cover. It was installed sometime in the past 40 years. The cloth was often sold as pre-pleated bulk and it was pretty easy to sew up plain covers like this for customers cheaply. Many aftermarket suppliers offered similar covers over the years. The big giveaway is the fact the cloth goes to the edge of the seat. If you look at the factory picture I provided or this 71 Suburban interior attached you will see the cloth and vinyl mixture and the center vinyl panel with the debossed scroll work. You are correct in that Z62 is the RPO code for the Custom Comfort and Appearance equipment. This included a number of things like the bright trim and the cloth/vinyl seat cover. In addition it bumped the fender emblems from the base C/10 to Custom/10 in this case. The 607 is the production code for that specific Z62 type and color seat cover. The exterior color appears to be the 501 medium blue poly unless you have one of the two-tone combinations.
