68 custom cab vinyl seat.

Im having my seat recovered and need to know the correct spacing between the stiching. i,e. 2" skip 4" etc... a piture would help also. Thanks in advance.

I have a 72. I don't know if they are the same.

Custom Comfort or CST? Custom Comfort was vinyl and cloth and CST was all vinyl. I have one of each but my Custom Comfort has a cover on it now which is a real pain to remove.

I have a blue bench CST seat. Like stllookn said they are not quite the same. It's similar to the one he pictured only different colors.

Is there nothing left of your original seat at all to go by? My '67 was a simple all vinyl seat with no patterns of any kind in it. As has been said, there were several variants for seats....

Thanks for everyones replys. To answer a couple questions; no there is nothing left of the original cover, its been replaced. The door panels are vinyl and I was a kid when I rode in this truck. I thought it was all vinyl that matched the door panels. I didnt know some of the 68's had a cloth inserts in a custom cab. I like the looks of yours "stllookn". Is there a tag or something i can look for to find out this info (what kind of seat came in it)?

Thanks again guys
