I would like to see some pictures of the completed seats if anyone has them. Are these vinyls the same that Jim Carter advertises as his premium seat covers? I would also like see some pictures of the GMC French stitch that is used instead of the tradition beading used on the Chevy. Blue 50 1950 3100 w/57 235 Patrick’s Saginaw 4 speed and 3:55 rear end

AD, I have always thought your truck was first class...I couldn't tell from the photo...does it have the bead at the end of the seat seperating the top and side? Mine has ripped there and that was why I was thinking of the french stitch next time around. Chuck Blue 50 1950 3100 w/57 235 Patrick’s Saginaw 4 speed and 3:55 rear end

I really like the look of the french stitch and will probably go with that. Thanks for the link. Still looking for the brown spanish grain if anyone has a picture of that.
