Question NEED HELP! Looking for Seat Material for my 74

I have a 74 Chevy Custom Deluxe, I really want to restore in interior to 100% stock, but I can't find my seat material anywhere? I'll try and post a pic, but's it's basically a medium blue vinyl on the outside of the seat, and the inside is a blue/white/yellow plaid combe, I have LMC,Chevy Duty,and Golden State pickup parts, but no luck? Anyone have any ideas?????

Re: NEED HELP! Looking for Seat Material for my 74

Original Auto Interiors carries the original bolt stock for most old interiors. I had them make my new seat covers for my 61 T-Bird Convertible 4 years ago.
A bit expensive but to me it was worth every penny.
The web address is www.originalauto.com

yeah I know, I'm building this truck to have the 70's Retro Hot Rod look, bascially stock interior and exterior, except slammed with air bags and some big wheels. Not too many people run stock seats, I think it looks better than a plain vinyl/velour seat, gives it that 70's feel for sure! I wish they made some 22" rally's, I actually haven't looked maybe they do? that would top the look I'm going for.

Cool seat . I would keep it . You have any more pics of the truck its in . Looks like a pretty clean interior for the age of the truck . Frank

74Chevy74 The supplier I have doesn't have the plaid if it is actual vinyl.
