Old thread with bench seat pics? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jeffspower · 11-09-2009, 08:09 PM

I remember a thread that was titled something like "show me your bench seats". I thought I had saved it, but I can't find it. I want pics so I can nail down what I like, and show it to the uhpolstery guy when I get the '68 seat done. I'm going with a plain "work truck" bench from an '88 and want it to look like an old style seat when done. Probably going all black vinyl.

Anyone remember that thread?

I hadn't seen that thread... thanks for sharing. I really like this look from "bigsnookmaster's" post:

That looks real nice but I am not a big fan of black. Even up here in Canada the seats get to hot.

I'm not a big fan of vinyl or leather. There's something about wearing shorts and legs sticking to the surface that just sucks.

Black is hot, that's for sure. But black is what it will be. This truck would look wierd without it, since it has been black forever- note the crushed velvet
