Green Interior

[dragonball98312]

I have a green interior, i believe olive green? I really like it but am having a hard time finding a replacement seat cover or carpet. Lmc is no help sadly

A friend is in the same position with his oem Forest Green (?) interior. Nobody makes anything for him. And it was a pretty standard color as I understand. Kinds sucks!

I’m getting ready to build a seat with the Green velour/vinyl combo. It’s being made right now, but it’s been every bit of 4-5 weeks, so it will be ready soon. Once it’s built, it will be posted in the parts section for sale.

Not sure exactly what year your truck is, but I found some Dark Olive Carpet, for a 73-74, on clearance at:

Hey, your welcome. And you should be able to get a cover from here:

They do have green. You'll probably have to call Randy and talk directly to him about the color. For some reason the colors aren't listed in the drop down list, but I know they do have green.

So if you want to lose the non-tilt seat and poor mans foam, that's on your seat. That green seat I'm getting ready to build, will work in your truck. It is a tilting seat and it's a 81-87. But it will still bolt up to the cab floor.

If you can't find seat covers, SMS Auto Fabrics in Canby, Oregon should have the original material. Couldn't find seat covers for my 72' K2500, they had the original vinyl and cloth I needed.

It is hard to match but not impossible... i got my carpet in. Sadly its for a high hump and mines a low hump. Going to have to get creative... was very happy to find my floors have zero through rust just a bit of surface

I got a sample piece from them, spot on match. $109 a yard but i need to find someone who can turn the material into covers for me

Sweet, keep the updates coming. Is that just a dry fit for your carpet? Are you going to put anything else down under the carpet? Like this:

This when I did my truck. I got a layer a FatMat, then the original tar mat and on top of that, foil backed jute I got from Home Depot.

[dragonball98312]

Oh yeah, i wanted to see how it would fit with the low hump. I bought some sound deadener im going to lay down first, not too sure of the brand off hand tho. I plan on cleaning up all the surface rust and put down some paint first. Thanks again for the link to the carpet. Shipped quick too

I think most upholstery shops will do it, just make sure springs and foam are good before they make and install seat covers. Shops I have used will fix or replace broken springs and foam. Good luck.

That will look nice

You got 2 choices:
#1 If your wanting a cover made so you can do your seat yourself, like I suggested in an earlier post, call Randy at USA1 Industries. Tell him what you got, colors, and all that stuff. And see what he can do.

#2 I Goggled auto uphoulstery shops for your area and there are several. See if they can do your seat. It will most likely be a bit more expensive, because they will actually make and install the cover. But before you take your seat to whomever, I would do what ever needs done to your frame. Like sandblasting surface rust & repainting. Getting your tracks to where they slide easier. An upholstery shop will not take care of any of these things. They mainly make the cover and install the cover. Now they will repair any foam damage and broken springs. But I have seen seats where I just roll my eyes at what some people do for repairing broken springs.
Your cover is going to need more than just that fabric. It's going to need the vinyl and other supplies to make that cover.
