Seat opinions needed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

OK, we took my sons seat to the upholstery guy today. It's gonna be black leather & blue suede. I attached a pic of the seat before to use as a guide.
It will be leather on the sides & front with a center strip up the middle(much like stock) Now the quandry, The upholster said to do the the whole top(minus center strip)in suede with pleats stiched in it.My son thinks possibly more along the lines of stock as in the pic. Where it is white in pic would be black leather & the hounds tooth or what ever it is would be blue suede. Anybody want to share thoughts?

Isn't that the rare Highland option interior? You are going to replace that? Now...sorry you asked for an opinion...LOL!

I had done something similar in the past but with tan. looked good heres a pic of what I had done. I traded the truck to a fellow board member, I will be doing something similar to the factory buckets.

Another vote for stock.

Go stock. That's a rare option and looks real nice.

chevyboy55 · 11-17-2006, 05:07 AM

Stock is not an option.I might piss some people off but I think it is butt ugly. But then again I asked & thanks for your thoughts.

First i would like to say it's a shame that beautiful seat is not being ressurected

Now that i have that out of my system
Personally i would stick to the stock style, with suede inserts as your son is thinking, but i would pleat the suede inserts.

think stock interior for a Mid 90s c/k

Although it's been done by several board members and others, the black & blue color combination are colors that don't really work well together usually. They don't contrast well against each other. A black and tan or a Blue and tan would work much better.

I'm with the others though, I say keep the highlander combo!
