Rare Parchment Seat Cover

my brother bought this a couple months back for his truck but recently sold the truck and no longer needs the cover, just looking to get his money back. here is the original add:

This is a rare parchment seat cover believed to be original. I cannot prove this either way. You can see the two spots in the fabric where somebody started to install the seat cover. These spots will obviously be under the seat and out of sight. $265 plus shipping

can call or text: 417-718-4117

Re: Rare Parchment Seat Cover

Anybody have an original truck with a seat cover like this to verify correctness?

Wish I could say 100% for sure but I don't think I have ever seen that pattern from an aftermarket company.

Re: Rare Parchment Seat Cover

So it's not the same pattern as the original?

Re: Rare Parchment Seat Cover

As I am looking at these... My truck is a 72 GMC custom, if that matters in this case. I really am not sure.

Re: Rare Parchment Seat Cover

Maybe this will help a little bit. This seat cover came from Truck World and they have had lots of original fabrics and seat covers in the past. Again, let me say I have no proof if it is or if it is not original. That's the best help I can offer on this.

Re: Rare Parchment Seat Cover

... and the plot thickens

Check out the seat Chevy072 has for a 68. Looks similar to DSALRAM's above.
The top/back doesn't look to have stripes. hmm

Re: Rare Parchment Seat Cover

It looks like his is striped all the way to the front outside edge. Dsalarm and myself have what looks like the exact same cover pattern

Re: Rare Parchment Seat Cover

^ For the top. I don't think the OP's pictures show the top portion well enough.
Can't make out how it is formed for top and bottom.

Re: Rare Parchment Seat Cover

nevermind, I'm blind. I see now that the OP's pictures - the fabric is flipped.
One end has a tear and the other doesn't. You're right Chevy072.
