GMC and Chevy bench seats the same?

I know there are differences in bench seats depending on what year but are there differences in benches from a GMC vs a Chevy pickup?

I’m sure the mounting points are the same but we’re their differences in upholstery?

Did 68 seats fold or was that only in 67?

Something I did not know until recently is some have shown evidence of highlander (plaid) interiors with the prominent pattern being vertical in Chevy and horizontal in GMC's.

Upholstery was definitely different between the two in 67, maybe 68. Not sure about the other years.

That's right. '69-on GMC and Chevy were the same upholstery. The seats are the same throughout 67-72, year by year.

I wonder how many different style upholstery were offered. Did interior codes determine only a specific seat or were their options.
Assembly plant might have also changed what was offered.
