Color Question

[Vicente Aceves]

I’m replacing the interior of my 1975 pickup. I’d like to know if anyone can tell me the color of my carpet and seat. There is no SPID in glovebox.

Also I was looking at carpet kits from USA1 Industries and there is one that says small hump and one that says large hump. Mine looks like the large but I wanted to make sure before I put the order in. Is one for auto and the other for standard?

The carpet was faded quite a bit. The browner looking carpet around the edges should be close to what it looked like new.

This will be my first time putting carpet in a car or truck. Thanks for any help.

Your a high hump. It’s manual and it’s bolted on, some of the tell tales. Small humps are automatic.
Now for your color, USA1 Industries is a good place to get interior parts for our trucks. They are the only place that has all of our colors, for our trucks. Their color chart is what I use. It’s going to be Saddle or Sand. But if it looks a bit darker, I would say Saddle. Also, if you call and talk to them, they might be able to give you a number to text or email your pics. They are very helpful.
Also, you haven’t said, but I’m guessing your truck is possibly a GMC? Your seat has the extra little bling by the hinge area. Those were usually only on the GMC’s. And I have only seen 2.

Thanks for the info. I may have misunderstood you about the manual and automatic. Mine is a column shift automatic with transfercase shifter on the floor.

I’m not sure if it’s a gmc or not. Everything says Chevrolet with a bowtie but I gues it could have been changed. There are emblems that day Silverado 20. I thought “20” identified 3/4 ton trucks and mine looks like a half ton. Am I able to find through the VIN? Thanks

Yes, by the first letter of the VIN:
C=Chev
T=GMC
1/2 ton will have 6 lug wheels and 4th digit of the VIN will be a 1
3/4 will have 8 lug wheels and 4th digit of the VIN will be a 2
I can't quite tell for sure how many lugs in your last pics.
Can you post a pic of your SPID and more of the truck?

[Vicente Aceves]

Thanks for the help. No SPID. It’s a 1/2 ton according to the vin. 6 lug. Are those “20” emblems wrong for my truck then?

[jocko]

yes they are incorrect emblems

Are you sure that seat is original to your truck. I don’t ever remember seeing that design in a gm pickup.

It probably isn’t original to his truck, but it is a GMC seat.

Regarding the seat and those chrome garnish pieces, I saw this seat in a junkyard yesterday in a 1978 C10 Chevy Big10.

Man that seat frame makes me feel real good about mine. Im going to use my seat frame because it’s in perfect shape. My plan is to replace the bottom cushion and re-cover the whole thing with new upholstery. But is it possible that it’s the original seat?
