Houndstooth: black & white or black and red? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Brad · 11-09-2008, 07:02 PM

I'm considering buying a hoodstooth seatcover in either black & white or black & red. This would be going in a Torch Red truck. I saw the thread from last week and would like to see more detailed pictures of your bench seats with either of the choices. I'm currently leaning toward a white vinyl with white & black houndstooth like shown below. It's just gorgeous! Show me your houndstooth benches!

LuckyHenriksen · 11-09-2008, 08:18 PM

When you read it, the red and black sounds cool, but as soon as you see the white and black you know which one you need to get

**72 Super** · 11-09-2008, 08:33 PM

I would go with Black and White one too.

PanelDeland · 11-09-2008, 08:38 PM

Black and white.The red and white seems to get "busy" quick.

71BB_LWB · 11-09-2008, 08:45 PM

I would go black vinyl with the black and white houndstooth... actually that is what I'm going to do in my build...

Highsteel · 11-09-2008, 09:03 PM

What kind of beer?

White with the black and white houndstooth

72BlckButy · 11-09-2008, 09:05 PM

This is actually a tough choice.... the black and white seat looks killer but I'm not sure about it in a torch red truck...

Change my mind Brad!

allen123 · 11-09-2008, 09:54 PM

I like the black and white. But i have a thing for black and white.

Ya, it seems like the white vinyl might get dirty quickly

All red all the time =)

shaneschevys · 11-09-2008, 10:45 PM

I'm going with the black with red & black houndstooth

Red and black.Where`s the white coming from?Will there be white anywhere else on the truck?It`s not about which upholstery you like the most,it`s about what goes best with the color scheme.What color would the rest of the interior be?I like red w/red interior.I think red vinyl w/red`n`black houndstooth would look great.

Red truck? Black 'n Red!

The interior is all black other than what's normally painted body color. Inititially I thought the same thing, but then realized that there are lots of red Camaro's (or Mustang's) with white vinyl seats and a black carpet, etc. Of course you'd never use white carpet, so I thought this might work and look really good and the more I think about it, the more I might do it.

67ChevyRedneck · 11-10-2008, 10:48 AM

Brad, I think I saw in a thread somewhere a really sharp red '68, but I wasn't sure if it was yours or not? I looked back to see if you started a thread about a new truck and didn't see one?? I see it's listed in your sig... how about some pics???

Exactly my thoughts. This would bring the interior to life rather than dull it down with dark colors.

69ROTROD · 11-10-2008, 11:43 AM

Black and Red

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-10-2008, 04:52 PM

The black and white gets my vote..

If you look carefully on the board, you'll be able to find the secret pics here, but I want to do a formal introduction and just haven't made the time to do that yet. Soon, very soon...

Ok, I just got a 12 pack today and as it sits right now, I've got 1 beer for each of you that asked. Feel free to come on over anytime-there's really plenty of beer in the fridge!
