Restoring upholstery for '77 Sierra Classic

[AbigailAmelia]

Hello,

Santa Hubby says he's bringing me new upholstery for my 1977 GMC Sierra Classic K25. Yay! I want to restore the existing bench seat and match the current design, which I believe to be original. Is there a name for this style, or is it just the part number?

My spec sheet says
Option #: 25D, Description LDD1 Blue Spec Cust
YE9: Silverado Equipment

I found this post from this forum: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...75&postcount=3

Is there any reason to think mine would not be the same?

Thanks!

I would say that rays pic is correct his is a 77 you can tell by the door panels and it looks the same as what I had. At least I think so if memory serves me well

I have been looking at upholstery for several hours now. I went back to a few places and this is the closest I can find. If it was a one year color, then you might have to find the upholstery itself and have it done at a local upholstery place that does seats.

Or just ask Ray exactly what was used on his dads seat.

Thanks for the tips and the link @TKCR. I viewed some of your other posts; do you do upholstery? Oh course, shipping California<>Ohio would be obnoxious.

Yeah, it's something I'm getting started on. I'm going to need something to keep me busy, I'm pretty much done with my truck, so I want something to do with my spare time. I don't like having idle hands.

I looked it up, just for sh!ts & giggles. It would be the last row, FedEx Ground $233. Not as bad as I would have thought.
