It appears your seat has had some custom upholstery work done on it. That is not original issue "green custom cloth".

X2. If you want the OEM material contact board vendor truckseats or SMS fabrics can probably help. The material used is not an off the shelf item, and it will be $$$.

I bought this truck from the original owner and I feel the same way - that this is not the original cover. I really ran this guy through the ringer and he swears that is how it came. I am inclined to believe him, but am not sure what to think about it. Everything about it screams factory, but it is odd because it has the darker green sides.

From what I know, the only green was a metallic dark green. Thought maybe is was a cover from an impala or caprice, so I will check my '69 "big car" dealer albums.

I will probably end up putting in the green repro cover, but thought I would ask around before I order one.

Thanks for the posts, I appreciate the help. I am sure it won't be my last

I agree as not original. Alot can happen in 45 years that people forget about...
