Cool find. They are rare indeed. Never seen a set in a suburban before. However, since they are kinda toasty, there worth isn't any greater than regular fawn seat cores. Check the factory brochure below.

Re: The rare "Red Seat"
Yeah kinda toasty, but great templates to have recovered.

Re: The rare "Red Seat"
I thought of this thread as soon as I spotted them.. They belong to a friend. He's doing a pro-level build so they'll end up with custom upholstery. I'll get him to save the skins for templates.
Q for the 3-row burb guys; Aside from the arm rest and mounting, is the narrow 2nd row seat the same as the driver's seat? |

Re: The rare "Red Seat"
Pretty sure it's been repainted. There's no red-oxide layer showing where the paint was sanded prior to it being shortened to Tahoe proportions -just gray primer. That all happened before he got it. It's baby blue that he thinks is close to the original. It's all one color but since it's a repaint, who knows if'n it was 2-toned.
It has the Custom options; fancy steering wheel, part of the Custom trim is still in place on the door, chrome bumpers and bright grille -not sure if it's chrome or 'lunamum. I'll take a closer look next time I'm over there, check the trim tag, etc. I think it's a '65, the spokes on the steering wheel are straight across. I think '66 custom wheel they were angled, or do I have it backward? |
Re: The rare "Red Seat"
They are basically the same, except the 2nd row seat has a small notch to clear the wheel well.

Just unloaded my new burb project and low and behold in the back with all the other crap was one of those talked about red seats! It was covered over with some weird alligator looking fabric.
Not very good shape but still a red seat. regads |
Re: The rare "Red Seat"
Sweet!

Re: The rare "Red Seat"
I dont know how accurate or true this is, but I was told that the "red" seat was an option on the 3/4 and 1 ton trucks/burbs/panels that were painted either silver or white. These "red" seats had extra padding to be more comfortable and were a dealer special. It was not a "request-able" option.
I got this from an old chevy dealer (neighbor of a friend). But my friend says that he is starting to get a little senile. Take it for what it is worth. http://i1052.photobucket.com/albums/...ismark/019.jpg http://i1052.photobucket.com/albums/...ismark/009.jpg |

NOW... to prove or disprove this, let's get a count on how many of you have seen a '62-'65 (I think only these years) truck or suburban that was FACTORY painted red, white, or gray and had a FAWN custom comfort seat. If you know of such a set-up, then this kind of proves the red was optional, no? |

I took these last week, I believe it was a 62 BBW custom cab, BTW, he only wanted 50 for the cab. I think it also was a grey cab.

Re: The rare "Red Seat"

I never noticed before even though i've been to this wrecking yard many many times. But one of the 3/4 tons has a red seat. It's pretty rough on the driver side.
