Need Some Help Finding Correct Interior Parts!
My new toy needs some "freshening up" in the cabin. I can find everything to match except for the correct seat cover and floor mat. The truck is a '70 C-10 Custom with the "Custom Comfort and Convenience Equipment" package ($96.85 in 1970!) which included RPO 607 - Blue Custom Cloth Trim.
I don't know how rare that RPO code is but none of the usual suspects for repro parts have covers for this seat. The other thing I am having a hard time finding is the vinyl floor cover in blue. All I can find is black. If I can't find the correct blue floor cover, I'll just carpet it, but it'd be nice to keep it as original. Does anybody have any ideas where I might be able to find these two parts? (and yeah, that Camaro steering wheel is on the short list for replacement!) Thanks! ![]() ![]() |

Re: Need Some Help Finding Correct Interior Parts!
Have you tried SMS Auto Fabrics for your seat cloth? If it exists, they will probably have it. You can buy the fabric from them in bulk and have a local shop stitch the cover for you.

Re: Need Some Help Finding Correct Interior Parts!
Did you try brothers?
If they don't have that shade of blue, you may consider switching to black. You've already got a fair amount of black in your interior already. My truck came with a one year only '69 dark blue. I couldn't find replacements and switched to black, and I'm very happy Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Need Some Help Finding Correct Interior Parts!
Neither the Z62 cloth/vinyl seat covers nor the color keyed vinyl floor mats are reproduced. So owners of the earlier Custom trucks and the later Custom Deluxe trucks need to find other solutions.
SMS may have the fabric but be aware the original cover is intricate and not at all like your exisiting replacement cover. Basically it is a vinyl seat cover with cloth inserts on the two seating surfaces and a scrolled vinyl center divider panel. The clip is from the 70 brochure and shows the Z62 interior with the optional carpet. The floor matting is a different problem that pretty much involves dying a black mat or going to carpet. The earlier Custom trucks offered carpet as a option with the Z62 package but later 71-72 Custom Deluxe trucks did not.

I think I'll go with carpet instead of going to a black rubber floor..... The only black in the truck is the steering wheel (which is going), the instrument panel cluster and the heater box.... I'll clean the seat and put a towel or something over the worn section and just run it while I figure out what I want to do. thanks! Last edited by NC_John; 08-02-2013 at 07:29 PM. |

The Z62 code is correct for my truck but the seat is specifically listed as RPO 607 (Blue Custom Cloth Trim). thanks for the info! |

Re: Need Some Help Finding Correct Interior Parts!
Dude- I'm glad you posted that pic. That looks AWESOME! With one pic you have completely turned me around on switching the interior color to black. Post more pics- that looks great!

Re: Need Some Help Finding Correct Interior Parts!
wow- that looks awesome. With that one pic you have completely changed my mind about the interior colors. Post more!
And yeah, UT gets hot. I've been across it and toured it on my Harley a few times. Great state. Incredible scenery.... EDIT: Sorry didn't mean to post twice- didn't know the first one made it through.... |

Thanks! No problem. Been there, done that with the interior debate.

SPIDs I am happy to help people recover or breakdown. Plates are a case by case thing. Did you find a build sheet? Generally they are found only in "Z" Fremont,CA built trucks.

The SPID's (I assume what I refer to as the RPO's on the glovebox door) are pretty easy. I guess with my truck being built in Baltimore and my seat being recovered already, the odds of finding a build sheet are about as high as hitting the powerball tonight (still buying a ticket though!) thanks! |

Re: Need Some Help Finding Correct Interior Parts!
I'll be looking for it and asking some more questions (like which steering wheel you have). I was going to redo my interior with the factory setup but just fell in love with yours. You have exceptional taste my good man.
