I'm trying to find any images or description of the original bench seat for a 49 Chevrolet 1/2 ton. It was originally that burgundy/maroon, but I'm leaning towards the brown interior. Regardless, I'm just trying to figure out if there were any patterns/styles/etc. Thanks

I have used Carter's upholstery kit and used fabric from SMS to cover seats in my 1950 Chevy truck and 1952 GMC. In my opinion, the material from SMS is far more original looking but you are going to spend more that the kit from Carter. You can go to SMS's website and look at their "old truck" fabric which is what I used.
