1986 seat upholstery color question...Help please - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

That is correct as far as the suppliers I know. I asked my vendor, just waiting on a response. The only "patterened" pieces I have don't match the factory, this is them:

<< My buddy has the piece on the left. That's what he was going to try to find a color match for.

The one on the left in the correct color would be close!

As mentioned in our previous communications....the colors have been established. I know what color I have, I know what color I need and I know what color is available to work with the factory tan. We are good on colors! Color availability definatley established. Once again...thanks again on the color update.

The search for an exact replica in the upholstery is what I am working on cuirrently, so far none that are offered are correct. Please let me know if you come up with anything. If I was doing a pick up truck with one seat it would be fine but for those doing a crew cab or a suburban its important to have a close upholstery match if you are not doing all the seats.

If you want me to sew your seat covers up it would probably better if you sent me a sample from your seat that I can match the material up to.

Not sure what your hang up is on this colors topic, but what I am stating in that post is the sample you stated was close is composed of 2 colors NOT a color with texture like the factory. I know what you are looking for, I have 2 trucks here with factory interior with that texture. If I find a sample that is a match the seats can be made with as many material types as you want. Acme the manufacturer offers the seats standard with only 2 types of material: vinyl and velour or just vinyl. I have ordered replacements for customers with exactly what they asked for. I am searching for an exact replacement as you have a back seat that is good that you don't want to replace, I haven't found it yet.

No hang up on the color...sorry for the confusion...With your help I know what color I need. Now the hard part...to fing a correct replacement.

Any updates of correct material?

**Captkaos** · 12-29-2010, 10:54 AM

I just got a notification that the new samples just got shipped. Should know something when they get here.

Excellent!!! THANKS........I have also found the insert material in the correct style and color in case we have to "stitch" one up.

SCOTI · 12-30-2010, 10:10 AM

Still watching this one to see the outcome....

If possible, I'd like to see pics of the final sample and the manufacture codes of the cloth since I'm getting ready to do the samething on a 1986 crewcab K30.

So far it looks like the "correct" original style upholstery kit is NOT available. I have the center material in route and I am going to have it sewn in. My vinyl and the top and center materila is good so I am going to have the baffles sewn in if the color is still a close match, If not I am going to have the seat re done completley.

**Captkaos** · 01-15-2011, 07:33 PM

I received the samples and the one they said was the closest match won't work.
If you are redoing both seats this won't be an issue, it just won't have the "checkered" pattern in the middle.
