Custom Comfort Option aka. Deluxe Seat - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**aerotruk63** · 08-01-2012, 07:24 PM

Do we have enough ORIGINAL fabric seat trucks representing 1960,61,62,63,64,65,66 Chevrolet and GMC to create a reference thread? I'd like to see the changes and similarities between the years.
1963

The Vinyl was known as Haircell. Tiny indentations randomly scattered.

I have a friend that works for a welll known clothing designer, she says she can have an original fabric or picture of, digitally copied to a new fabric. Though not original, it would make a nice seat cover. Course how much it would cost, is pending.

Do the Burbs and the trucks share the same fabric. Do you want pics from the Burbs?

jbgroby · 08-01-2012, 10:09 PM

OK I may actually be able to help with this topic. Prior to Hurricane Katrina I bought parts truck that had the delux package, most stuff was ok the seat however was in perfect condition I removed it and took pictures of the seat at my friends house (2 months before the strom - go figure!

You can see the pictures of it here. I cut and pasted some in this reply.

As far as I know Suburbans had the same fabric and patterns as pickups. below are two examples of '62, two of '65, and one from '66 (in that order). I think '64 and '65 might be the same.
Oh, and Jake- never seen those seats before. Are they GMC? To the best of my knowledge Chevrolet had fabric inserts on all the deluxe seats.

Thank you for your ongoing contributions. Your trucks are great reference material.

Yes Pics from the Burbs and Panels as well. Does yours have the same as the 63 info above?

**aerotruk63** · 08-02-2012, 07:17 AM

OEM4ME,

Yes those came out of a 60-61 GMC. I actually saved a piece of the material, cleaned it and have it stored. A company in California has the pattern, there was a thread about it years ago.

cru_zn_29 · 08-02-2012, 11:24 AM

I Have a orginal 65 C20 with deluxe seat option. PO had seat recovered in 1980 (build sheet still stuck in springs) Iam looking for replacement OE seat covers. Who sell them. The seat covers i have found are not Deluxe. Thanks Kenny

Thanks for posting the GMC seat, notice how they have a different pattern, different cloth and different colors. 62-64 GMC "Custom" seats were color coordinated in 4 different colors compared to Chevy's 2.

1963c-10 · 08-02-2012, 11:22 AM

Couple more pics

61K10 · 08-02-2012, 12:14 PM

any pics of a 61 base seat?

6T6 · 08-02-2012, 12:35 PM

Heres mine - pretty rough but 100% original and is from 1966 with trim code Z62.

**aerotruk63** · 08-02-2012, 12:51 PM

An optional seatcover that would go over the original seat in 63. Not a great detail but gives you an idea.

**aerotruk63** · 08-02-2012, 12:56 PM

Arekusu · 08-02-2012, 11:23 PM

Can we buy a seat cover with the origional vinyl and cloth looking art deco center pattern somewhere?

bighunting · 08-03-2012, 07:58 AM

Look what I found under the blue vinyl seat cover in my '63. The lining of the seat cover is stuck to the original seat, but believe me, it looks just like the brochure that aerotruck63 posted at the top of this thread. Any idea where I can find some repro fabric and restore?
