The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors chevy vs gmc seat

I am getting ready to order seat covers from JC and want to get the GMC french stitch instead of the original beaded stitch. Are the seat sizes the same in the 1950 year?

As far as I know they are the same but I only own one seat.

Springs should be the same if original(Chevy or GMC). If you are looking for something different, instead original cover, check out my post "seat covers and padding. I posted some pic's on seat build. Eric

Hi Eric,
I read your post and looked at you Webshots folder...great job. I think I am going to try and tackle this project with my wife's help. I am going with the original style cover and just got an email from JC saying they are sending me a fabric swatch to see if it matches the sample I have from SMS Fabrics.

Hi Chuck. Were abouts is Johnston City? I grew up in and around Taylorville,Ill. It is about 30 miles south of Springfield. Like I said, Take your time and you will do fine. Don't pull real hard on the cover and don't pull at the seams, it could tear.Good luck. Eric By the way nice looking truck.
