What color seat?

Any thoughts?

I'm okay with the tan with the brown outer piping, but would really dig an old school pleated white one. My concern's with white are that I lay on the ground a lot at work, get somewhat dirty and am always turning a wrench so I have always steered away from white, but love the look.

Here's what's in it currently, broken down, beat but somewhat clean.

Here's Dloe65's seat. Its a late 90's Chevy truck seat. I picked one up just like it that needs recovered ( it's gray cloth now) and am after a similar look with the bolsters etc, and the pleating( mabey more of them).

What color, piping etc would you guys recommend? I asked the wife ( her truck) and her response " I don't care" lol

That looks GREAT! Sounds like it is a real PIA to keep clean if you are sitting on a towel? Thanks for the input.

White, and keep a set of coveralls in the truck so you can get down and dirty, then sit on the seat in clean clothes.

Re: What color seat?

If your truck is orange why not go with orange houndstooth?
