Anyone have pics of a blue highlander seat? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys,

Anyone have a picture of a blue highlander seat? I'm thinking of ordering the plaid and vinyl from SMS fabrics in Oregon, but want to make sure I get the right stuff.
Thanks in advance...

And how many Highlanders are out there? I've only seen a couple.

This might help.

Here is one from fellow board member special-k's 72 K20 Highlander that he recently sold...

One sweet ride

Perfect pictures. I love this site for things like this. I needed to know if the vinyl part was white or blue. Now I know and can order the right materials.
Thank you very much...

Another picture, for the record.

GOD! I want one of those.... Kxno - you want to make 2 of them?

I have never seen a gray one other than that brochure.

kxnomore · 05-15-2008, 05:43 AM

I may be able to make two. There may be a discount if I have them order enough for two. I'll check on the exact total.

And Longhorn Man- This is the one I've got in my truck. It looks like it might be the gray you were thinking of.

Seriously! - I'd need the full bench seat cover for a 72. PM me with some details when you get started.

kxnomore · 05-15-2008, 05:51 AM

Luvlegs- I'll do just that when I get the details. I actually am lucky enough to have two highlanders myself. Both need seats. One gray and one blue. So maybe I'll have him make 3 and get an even better deal.

The hard part for me is finding a nice seat to start with. This gray one is really good. but the blue truck has S-10 buckets so I need to start from scratch.

Do you mind if I ask what SMS is charging for that material? I had the interior in my 60 Biscayne wagon done at SMS, that do great work!!

SMS fabrics is pretty quick on giving quotes over the phone, so you could call them and get the exact info you need. But they quoted me $89 per square yard for the correct plaid pattern fabric. They said 2 yards is too much, but one may not make it. So 1 1/2 yards should be about right.

The special white vinyl is a Walrus Grain type and they have to do a Custom embossing for the Highlander seat. he said he has all the correct pattern dies, but the wait time is 4 weeks on the embossing. The vinyl wasn't bad but the embossing was like $100.

Total amount was somewhere around $350. (I forget the exact amount)

But the fabric can ship asap. An important consideration is this is just material rolled up in a tube. You still need to have it sewed up into a seat cover, and installed on your bench.

I ordered a houndstooth material from them once, and they shipped it the same day.

Good luck!
