Need Help
My father has decided to build up a 67 c-10 swb truck. He wants to match the upholstry that I have in my truck. The only problem is that I cannot find anywhere that supplies it. I had my seat upholstered 8 years ago and the guy that did it is out of business. I told him I wanted the same upholstry that came in a 90 chevy truck and he found it for me.
Please let me know if you know where I can order this fabric. I will attach some pics. Thanks.

Re: Need Help
Even if you could find the exact "code" for your interior, it's a matter if they still make the cloth.
The companies who make the OEM products will usually make more than enough for the aftermarket suppliers and for repairs, but they will stop making it if the OEM stops requesting that particular cloth/vinyl. If your local automotive fabric supplier can't find it, try to find something close. (They will be your best sourse for information) You might get lucky though, maybe someone in your area still has some of that fabric left. D

Re: Need Help
The cloth in the center section has been removed from production. Your only hope is to find something close, or some laying on a shelf someone forgot about.
