Granted it has been blasted and put in epoxy so it's possible that whoever did the body work cut them off. The paint code on the SPID 4555AD Saddle/Off White sounds like it should be saddle and then white below the trim but this is my first 68 that was a factory two tone.

The 555 defines the colors and scheme. The description is listing the primary then secondary color. Your truck was painted overall 525 Saddle Tan poly/metallic with a 526 Ivory roof in the conventional two-tone pattern.

That medium duty truck brochure picture is very close. However that seat cover is clearly a replacement probably done by a local trimmer. Here is a picture of an original black seat cover. While I am positive I have clear example of the fabric I don't have time to hunt them down this morning in the wilds of my files.

Has done a lot of research in restoring his "grew up in" 68 Suburban and as I recall there are a lot of good, helpful trim pictures in his threads.
