Thanks for the help guys. :metal:

Keep me posted on what you are able to find. My 68 Golden had the white vinyl covers without the inserts...

Any luck finding 50th seat covers?

I haven’t found a seat cover but I have found a supplier of the fabric. I will try to upload it this evening so you can see who to contact.

I emailed SMS fabrics. They quoted me $749 for a seen seat cover in original fabrics.

I think I am ordering one.

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

19% off right now. Good time to do so. The only sale they've ever had.

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

Cool,post it up, when that day gets here!!!

My 68 (bench seat) did not have the gold insert covers. Mine were solid white vinyl. There was a pattern imprinted into the vinyl, nothing special. Pattern ran from side to side.

I used the contact form on the SMS fabric website and included a picture of my current seat. 3 or 4 days later they emailed back with a price and saying they had one sewn. I was unsure if they just sold fabric or they sold complete covers. Happy that they sell covers!

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

I got my 50th seat upholstery from SMS about a year ago.
As someone noted above, SMS is currently running a 19% off sale. I was inquiring about the '68 Fawn fabric/vinyl seat (for another truck), they called me back and since the had the sale, I went for it.
For the record, there was no "promo" code, just order and mention the 19% off. I'm not sure how long it's running, but (and it took me a while to understand, ...why 19%) during the Covid ..."19" they were running it.

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

Is this sale listed somewhere?

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

I don't believe so (at least I haven't found it listed anywhere). If/when you call, the person I spoke with was Leslie (503) 263-3535. She did mention their staff was downsized with the Covid-19 situation, but she was still working. Good chance you'll get her on the phone as well.


I did however post in the 'promo code thread' a couple weeks ago

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

I'd like to see a picture of your Fawn cover. my 67 came without a seat. I'd like to maybe...keep my interior stock.
(I have a 67 C10 Vermillion Poly and a 68 C10 Golden)

Thanks.

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

Jeff,
I haven't received the Fawn from SMS yet, but will post when I do.


Just for reference,
Here is a pic of the samples SMS sent me a while back:

Not that this helps, but the original seat in my truck:

But to keep this thread on track ; ), ...here are pics of the 50th seat cover and samples I did receive from SMS:
I will note as well, the pattern direction appears different than that of the pic in post#8. After looking at an original photo, it looks like that in post#8, and not what I have... ...hmmm?

The fabric is running the wrong way in your photo. As a reference go to Captain Underdog's post on 6-25-09, 2:10 am. He shows the seats of an original 68 Golden.

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

...that's why I mention it. Especially for those planning to order from SMS to keep an eye on this. I wasn't originally going to worry about it, ...but the more I think about it, I may be contacting them, we'll see...

Thanks for the heads up. I plan on calling and when I do I will mention it to her and see what she says.

Is your truck a Custom or CST? A CST bench will be two tone vinyl.

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

Tom, would a Custom have carpet? or rubber? I'm guessing the CST would be carpet?

Jeff

Mine is a Custom. My dad bought it brand new.

I ordered the cover. Might be a winter installation project.

SMS 19% sale ends May 15th.


Anybody know how many hog rings it takes?

Re: 1968 Golden Anniversary Seat Covers
 

I just ordered a set of covers for my buddy buckets. Was right around $600 after the discount! So big savings if anyone is on the fence. SMS said itll probably be there only sale, ever
