some newb suburban questions

hey guys, i've been searching and searching and haven't really found what i'm looking for. i'm curious to see what you guys are running for interiors. my suburban didn't come with correct bench seats and the ones that are in there aren't even close to being a decent fit. i'd really like to find some period correct ( 67-72). if you guys could post up some pictures that'd be great.

The word was the back two rows are original - the front is a later cover (but pretty nice). (I wouldn't mind a full size mid seat and just let the kids jump over.)

my dad's 72 burb dealer promo came with 6 passenger seating (wide second row) and he added a same era white blazer rear seat for a third row. the factory seats were white with the high end black/blue plaid cloth panels so it wasn't too bad a match.

my 72 burb also has the 6 passenger seating but with the regular custom deluxe upholstery in light blue all over. i need to recover the front and i want to put in a matching 3rd row at some time. new seat covers are not cheap if you want it factory fresh!

LMC now carries reproduction brackets to hold the back end of the third row seat down. they are like 20 bucks which is a far better price than originals go for.

Original seats - but recovered. Door panels have custom inserts - to match the seats. Interior is white/green, dark green carpet (original carpet). Exterior is green/white.

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. Seats were already done when I bought the burb. The lines follow the original lines - so still has that look, but you nailed it - totally plush. Really comfortable for road trips, feels more like a sofa. The fabric feels more like what you'd find in newer autos, so I'm sure you could choose from many samples from anyone who'd make the seat covers.
