Anyone ever seen this seat? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**jocko** · 11-17-2013, 11:48 PM

Once you're done drooling over Sandra Bullock, pls tell me if you've ever seen this seat - it's in a 71 med olive truck, which, of course, I like a lot. But it seems I've seen this non-highlander-like plaid elsewhere, and was just wondering if it was perhaps some rare option of which I am unaware.... Ha. And, it has Sandra Bullock in the picture, so if I learn nothing about the seat, it's still a win-win.

PAWS 72 · 11-18-2013, 12:34 AM

Dont know which I like the most.

leftybass209 · 11-18-2013, 12:47 AM

Interesting

**jocko** · 11-18-2013, 12:20 PM

I'm still expecting the obvious reply: "What seat?"...

Also makes one wonder if she was toolin around in this cool truck during her Jesse James days. Who knows. He has some nice old chev trucks at his Austin shop.

Could it be! Maybe who knows.

Maybe but don't think so!

**jocko** · 11-18-2013, 02:48 PM

Wow. 1st one is highlander plaid mat'l, but the 2nd pic is awful close. Guess I just like plaid.. Thx for sharing

Yor welcome,
Pictures came from the SEMA thread over in event's. They are not mine. I just remembered seeing them.

67ChevyRedneck · 11-18-2013, 03:56 PM

Not sure what material that is, I've only ever seen the stuff more like Andy's 2nd pic and I'm not sure that's 100% correct either (note it's also used on the dash and doors, so may be aftermarket version of material that's not 100% correct).

I'm also not 100% convinced that's Sandra. Is that a known pic of her from a movie or something?

**jocko** · 11-18-2013, 08:50 PM

only saying the 1st one is olive highlander plaid material applied in a custom way. But it is correct highlander plaid. Yep, that's Ms. B.

ole dollor · 11-18-2013, 10:29 PM

it sure looks like Sandra...

litew8 · 11-18-2013, 10:42 PM

None of those pics match what she's sitting on. Looking at the door panel (wood grain with chrome trim around, like mine), it's a 71' Deluxe?

mmiddle · 11-18-2013, 11:19 PM

After studying this picture closely for a few minutes... I did finally notice the seat and truck. Ya, that's Sandra

I do kinda like the plaid. Not my speed, but I like it. Of course, anything can look good with a classy pretty woman sitting in it.

**special-K** · 11-19-2013, 01:24 AM

Sexy arm pit. See? My mind isn't in the gutter,it's in her arm pit.
I don't think that's the same plaid. Could be non-original. But it was available,at least in GMCs,other than as part of the Highlander pkgs. But,only in '72 as far as I know.

litew8 · 11-19-2013, 02:02 AM

But 72's don't have that style door panel. Wrong?

Andy4639 · 11-19-2013, 07:55 AM

Just so we understand, he wasn't asking about factory seats.

Just do a google search for plaid material and it will pull up all kinds of patterns.

Here's a better picture of plaid for those who couldn't see it well in Jocko's first picture

Andy4639 · 11-19-2013, 10:01 AM

Nice! I like it!

litew8 · 11-19-2013, 12:15 PM

Oh, ya'll are still talking fabrics?

My point was - Sandra is sitting in a 71' (like mine) not a 72'. Proof is with the door panel.

nobolt · 11-19-2013, 06:58 PM

700 views for Sandra and 12 for the seat....

mmiddle · 11-19-2013, 07:48 PM

^^ And your point is??????

**special-K** · 11-20-2013, 09:47 AM

Whoa,hold on! You all were wantin' "seat" pictures (

------ (( ). Lemme see what I can find. (with or w/o plaid?)

**jocko** · 11-21-2013, 05:55 PM

Ha, what have I started... Yes, yes, that is Ms. B. Yes, yes, it is a 71 Deluxe (since no headliner). So, Tim, that WAS available on GMCs?? Which yrs? Knew it wasn't highlander (and wrong year if it was) so I was assuming it was just custom but could've sworn I'd seen it in other trucks before. Maybe I saw it in a GMC... That would explain it. I like it. Think plaid is a cool fabric in old trucks.

**special-K** · 11-21-2013, 08:57 PM

In '72 you could get a Sandr...I mean,a GMC with the same plaid as Highlanders,but the pattern was turned sideways (1/4 turn). You never see these and I don't know specific details,such as only with Super Custom ('72 GMC equivalent to Custom Deluxe). Only know I've seen it shown in a brochure

DEISS · 11-21-2013, 11:05 PM

Is there a member of this forum that can come up with a pic of a GMC with Highlander plaid? I've searched and had no luck. Oh, and I think Sandra is real nice lookin'.

DEISS · 11-21-2013, 11:11 PM

Tim, correct me if I'm wrong, in the picture you posted, that looks like orange plaid in a medium bronze painted truck.
