52diesel Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 I am looking for some pictures of a seat out of a 1952 Dodge pilot house truck. My 1.5 ton has a brown vinyl seat with an interesting texture to it. it is torn in a few areas though so I'm going to have it redone with new foam and a new seat cover. I wanted to see if anyone had some pictures of a truck with original seat covers in it so I could get a fabric that was relatively close. Quote
OLD DODGE Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 This seat is from a 1951 B-3 truck with 64000 miles on it that was put into storage in 1959 and stayed there until a couple Saturdays ago. It still has the 1959 license plate on it. I believe it to be the original seat. http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv183/DODGETRUCK/1950%20ACCESSORIES/1951SEAT.jpg . Quote
Desotodav Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 I'm not sure if the material that they used in your part of the world was the same as here in Oz. Here's a couple of photos of original seats that might help you out... Desotodav Quote
Reg Evans Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 Here are photos of an original seat bottom and back. Quote
52diesel Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Posted October 1, 2011 All those pictures look like what I have. Did they all have the brown vinyl back in the day? Thanks for the replies, made my life easy. I just have to tell the upholsterer to get something as close to what on there as they can. Quote
