Seat material from SMS - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

For those of you who have been told over and over that your seat material did not exist, think twice and keep looking. I kept going back to SMS auto fabrics who sent me sample after sample until I got ahold of the right person and he found this. The pattern is a bit bigger that the original and it repeats itself a little short of where it should, but this is the best old material still left. It looks like it came off of a shelf, dust and all. It is the plain jane looking stuff for seats with the plain ribbed looking upholstery. I am going to use it to recover the utility buckets in my 1970 Blazer and the rear seat. The pics are sort of washed out by the flash but I think you can tell what it going on here. The color is dead on perfect from old stuff. The brand name stamped on back is Naugahyde and has a "70" (year?) also.

That`s great.I know it`s always harder to locate standard replacement material than deluxe.Reproduction tends to favor the higher end stuff.
