'72 Custom/Deluxe upholstery - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

grebus1 · 07-03-2003, 12:32 PM

I'm looking for a reproduction seat cover for my '72 Suburban with Custom/Deluxe cloth upholstery. The only place I have seen one is Impala Bob's, but it was in an old catalog and their website no longer lists it. I haven't called them yet to double check, but does anyone know of another source?

Hi ,
You can get a catalog from either:
The Truck Shop (Cheap Prices, Excellent Quality)
We bought a replacement seat cover from them for our 72' GMC Sub, and it looks sweet!
http://www.truckandcarshop.com

(a bit more expensive, but cheap when you can catch their sales)
Brother's at:
htt://www.brotherstrucks.com

Good Luck...

make sure you get the cover specifically for a suburban. the truck seat covers don't cover the back of the seat. Jim Carter lists them in their catalog. http://www.oldchevytrucks.biz/p/1967...ession=1021033

Impala Bob's website still exists - http://www.impalas.com

Thanks for the suggestions, but what I'm looking for is the cloth & vinyl Custom/Deluxe upholstery (not the houndstooth pattern). This is the type that has what looks like a small flower pattern in the cloth. The 2nd and 3rd seats in my Suburban are near mint, so I only want to replace the upholstery on the front seat.

Anybody have this kind of upholstery in their truck? Is there a replacement/reproduction source?

I have been looking for the black inserts for some time now. If you find something please let me know.

There is a burb that shows up at Pigeon Forge that had new closth inserts sewn into his seats. I asked him where he got it and he said his upholstery guy bought the last 5 yards of it.

This is what I am looking for; What color are you looking for?

grebus1 · 07-07-2003, 11:43 AM

Yep, that's the same pattern that I'm looking for. My interior is green, so maybe there's still some fabric out there? Thanks for the picture--that might help in my search!

Hughnews1--is this the same type of upholstery as in your rig? Does design cover have a website or just e-mail?

Anybody else have a suggestion?

Have you tried your local upholstery person? They have lots of sources.

I might be able to help you out if you don't find it new. I just got a truck from Crew70. It is Ochre and white but it has the deluxe green interior. It was from the factory that way. The worst color combo I have seen ever!

anyway, I have been thinking of pulling the panels out, dying them black and sewing them into my seat covers on my burb.

What I will do is take some pictures of it so you can see it's condition and we will see what happens afterwards.

Hey guys, I think I finally found a source! It is at CARS Inc., and I talked to them today. They were able to confirm that it is the correct pattern and that they have NOS fabric in stock (at least in my color--green). Check them out at www.carsinc.com. You will find the Custom/Deluxe fabric under the '71-'72 pickup section, not the Blazer/Suburban section. Yee-haw!

I believe CARS Inc. had previously merged with Ciadella interiors (a well-respected interior company), so the quality should be great.
