Depending on the condition of the seat foams you may ver well need to replace them as well.
At first I wasn't sure you were going to go to the effort, so I teased you with pictures of how it should be to get you really interested before you got hit with sticker shock. If it makes you feel better another member is doing three stock correct, 68 Custom, covers for his suburban.
Here are more interior pictures for you one that even shows some of the scroll work. The other though buckets has the correct vinyl colors as installed in a GMC (note the GMC specific dark blue glove box door and gauge bezel). The visors, clips and brackets should be a dark blue from what I have seen in other 69 Customs in my collection. Unfortunately none of them are a blue interior.
On the wheel. Again it should be noted the 69s were a darker blue than the later 70-72 wheels and service replacement wheels.
You could restore and paint a wheel the correct color or if you wanted, use a vette wheel.

How does the '69 606 medium blue work with regards to the colors of the dash pad, visors etc. My 69 blazer also has the lighter blue visors that are original to the vehicle. Does this help reinforce the idea that they were maybe all that way?
