1968 Seat pattern pics needed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

vectorit · 04-08-2009, 07:13 PM

I found a company that can set up just about any pattern vinyl seat covers, and he asked for a picture of the 68 bench seat cover just to make sure he and I were on the same page.

My seats are from a 69 so they are different and no help in this case, so if anyone has a 68 bench seat with it's original cover on it can you snap a pic of it for me? I don't care about color or condition, just a good representation of the design.

Thanks in advance!
Chris

I cant help with your request. I would like to know who you are working with. I have not replaced my stock cover because I cant find one like it.

You should post this over on the main 67-72 area. A lot of those people dont even check out general discussion. And your question is on topic for that area.

WOW someone's butt was hungry!

I guess I should have clarified a little more, in that I need a picture of a 68 ALL vinyl bench seat. Plus the pic be taken so the patern can be made out, so that one would be able to duplicate it.

Thanks for your response though!

'68 had three bench seat options, std., Custom Comfort and CST. The Standard was a vinyl with minimal texture, the Custom Comfort was textured vinyl with cloth inserts and the CST was a textured vinyl with padded vinyl inserts. I only have a picture of the CC and CST vinyl bench. Since you were only asking about vinyl I will only post the picture of the CST vinyl. Let me know if you need the CC with the cloth insert.

That shot is perfect! My burb is a "Custom", and I remember when I was young they were all vinyl and one color. (As a kid my sister and I hated em because they were hot in the summer time

)
That was one of the reasons my Dad replaced them with a set that had cloth inserts from another burb, which are the ones I have in the truck to this day.
