1971 Chevy Bucket Seats

I have a 71 Chevy truck that I have had for a few years and always wondered about the bucket seats. All the buckets i have ever seen were all vinyl instead of how mine look with the cloth centers? They appear to me to be original but I'm sure a lot of people are more educated then I am.

OG buckets with very nice non-OG upholstery.

Re: 1971 Chevy Bucket Seats

That's what Id do if I had buckets and your color combo. Vinyl is hot when it's hot and cold when it's cold.
I've got an early 80's blue cloth seat in my 67 C10 Custom and really like it. I would love some correct Buddie Buckets or a Houndstooth bench seat but I cringe at the idea of my dogs nails, hair etc on something that nice.

Re: 1971 Chevy Bucket Seats

Thanks guys, I never noticed the seat to get hot like my monza's full vinyl interior. I do think the buckets are perfect for the driver style with unique pieces on it.
