embossed scroll pattern seat cover for 69 C10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**MikeB** · 05-27-2006, 05:12 PM

My 69 C-10's door panels have the embossed scroll pattern, so I assume the original seat cover did too. Does anyone know where I can find one in maroon (a.k.a. dark red)?

Check out the BB vendors.I know Tim Christian carries them but they may not be reproducing all colors.

I assume this is the color you are looking for? I think this may have been a one year only option. (not for sale) Just posting pics to help out. Good luck with your search...

That is the exact color of my door panels, dash pad, and steering wheel. I've had some vendors look at me like I'm crazy when I ask for seat covers in dark red or maroon.

At least I can use your pictures to show my upholstery guy. Obviously he won't be able to do the embossed parts, but he'll be able to copy the seams, pleats, etc.

Thanks, Mike

Wow!Reminds me of my`69 K CustomCamper/10 that was maroon with the same interior.I seemed more red against the maroon paint.Nice interior.I like the`69s with the bowtie on the door.

Eric, Nice lookin cab there, but why did you paint your column? You need to do the A/C vents to match, they were always colored the same as the column.

mbgmike · 05-28-2006, 01:50 PM

there is a company in Kentucky that sells them.Not sure about the color but I will do some more looking for the site.

Andy, i know the tilt columns were black and i know this was added later. The 2 a/c ducts i can't explain or the rear view mirror which is black. I am the third owner of this one with 83,xxx actual miles. I know the a/c is original to this truck as is the cab. I think it is an early 69 truck as it has no headliner or cargo light either and the side lights are just reflectors. Any help???

Longhorn Man · 05-28-2006, 07:00 PM

well, the side markers are optional...so being reflectors is no big deal.
You are correct as to it being an early 69 since it has no headliner or cargo light. I have found no lit saying this, but it seems those were mid year introductions to the CST package. All the lit says it should be there, but there's been plenty seen on here (original truckls too like Longhorn jeff'd 69 CST/Custom Camper all original 50,000 mile Longhorn).
It has been my understanding that trucks with black columns, got black steering wheels, and black A/C vents (if so equipped obviously).
Being that your wheel is the odd ball non reproduced color, and to my knowledge, only trucks and vans had that wheel, we'll assume it is original. This brings the A/C vents into question though.
Is there a chance that some one removed them and painted them for a contrasting effect?
Has anyone seen one like this... with a colored wheel and black vents?
