Which way to go with the interior for my Suburban?
So I am including pictures of what I have so far and I am trying to get back to original. My driver bench seat was obviously redone befor I got it but my second row bench jump seat and third row bench are both different and I am not sure which or if either were original. The second row bench has a little bit of an angle design on the top which makes me think it might be a GMC seat??? By the VIN I can tell that I had the comfort package, my paint is the two tone crystal turquoise poly and cameo white.
Not sure even where I can find something similar but I am guessing my original was the third row? Anyone know anything that may help me out? All the support on this forum is awesome! Thanks, AJ |

Re: Which way to go with the interior for my Suburban?
What year suburban? I am betting that if it is a 60-63, then that duct tape seat is the original one. Also is your truck GMC or Chevy?

Is your burb a '62 ? If so, the intact seat is the correct seat and pattern.

Re: Which way to go with the interior for my Suburban?
i know it won't be the exact material. and the original is cloth, but i found a textured vinyl material that looks similar and might wear better. i think i wrote the numbers and manufacturers name down somewhere if interested.
there was a thread on here that included a link to a company that carries lots of vintage fabric, and maybe they got the real deal... |

Re: Which way to go with the interior for my Suburban?
Thanks for the reply Cort. It is a 1962 Chevrolet. I thought the center angled strip one only came on the GMC? Anyone have any pictures of their original interiors that might help?

Re: Which way to go with the interior for my Suburban?
Yep I am a 62 burb. That shot looks great of your interior! Did you have it redone and if so where do I find that criss cross pattern. I also wanted to make sure all 3 rows have the same pattern or if any of them are different like how the taped one has the dividing piece down the center.

below is a partial shot of Aerotruk63's seat that he restored. Is his the same as your second seat? Also, it is possible your burb came with just two seats, if you didn't know that. The number of sliding windows you have is a good clue on that one. I've said it before, somebody needs to get on it and reproduce these factory style seat covers for us. |

If they don't have it, it most likely can't be found anymore. They even sent me a couple of samples of what I was looking for. I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but when I do, they will be my supplier.

I'm lucky these guys are local http://www.perfectfit.com I got all my stuff from there, but mine is far from OE unless you mean '08 Cadillac OE.
![]() That '62 seat looks incredible.

Re: Which way to go with the interior for my Suburban?
I think everyone really helped. I just filled in a form and called SMS yesterday and they are going to see if they have what I need. I am going to follow it up with a few photos especially the one from 64short. That picture is awesome and very motivating. Thanks!

Re: Which way to go with the interior for my Suburban?
Thanks OEM4ME. I just ordered every book I could find on my burb from Autolit and American Classic and am going crazy waiting.
![]() By the way 64Short do you have any idea where or who this photo came from? It really helps answer a ton of questions I have on interior and paint and would love to get more from the owner. Thanks, AJ |
