47-55.1 1951 GMC Seat Frame and Base Color - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi guys. I have a 51 GMC and would like to know if anyone knows where I can get the original paint color for the seat Base, that is on the floor, and the seat frame that the seat bottom and back bolt to. It is a brown type of a color that I'm pretty sure is original. Thanks, Ron.

Actually upon second inspection it looks more like a grey shade.

I think Jim Carter shows paint for GMC interiors. That's the great thing about customizing rather than restoring, Nit picking details only count for getting the right look.

Jim Carter is just a nice guy who has been a long time Chevy/GMC truck parts vendor. https://oldchevytrucks.com/
He doesn't show a gray but I have sure seen a lot of interiors that looked a lot more gray than brown.
