LMC shows a brown, reproduction houndstooth seat cover; with hog rings, hog ring pliers, & instructions for about $350.
But I have to admit, it's not their latest catalog.

I hope that helps you.

P.S. They also show black, blue, green, & red.

All houndstooth was color-matched to vinyl & black.So,it would be Saddle & Black.Every 71/72 Cheyenne color was available in houndstooth.Any full-line 67/72 parts vendor can get the covers.

If you are only after the houndstooth material look these guys up: http://www.smsautofabrics.com/, they are right here in Canby, OR.

I agree. ordered red and black from them. Then I ordered the seatcover from LMC with the scroll. Kept the scroll and removed the pleats and replaced with houndstooth. This way I have both.

Every combination of houndstooth colors seems to be available on the aftermarket. But from the factory, only blue, olive, and parchment was available from the factory. This is from the book that the dealers used to order trucks from the factory. Also, houndstooth only came on bench seats. Buckets were always vinyl.
