For photos try this link: http://s715.photobucket.com/albums/ww155/draglinebucket/PanelTk%20SeatsForSale/Cushion sides are the tan-yellow heavy canvas shown in the photos, while tops are plastic/vinyl dark brown, very small pebble pattern, I think, not perfectly smooth. Hope this helps you some on GMC. Let me know (e-mail) if link does not work. Also there are some more words describing in here (Bolt) on Parts For Sale.

You might want to contact kir1980@hotmail.com (si47gmc). He has an original 1950 GMC suburban. Or, join oldGMCtrucks.com and see if someone there has information. I do not know if the GMC and Chevrolet panel truck seats are different in material or stitching but they are certainly different seats from those used in Suburbans. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 43 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 43 | Many thanks for all the information , had a look at the pannel van seats , nice but nothing like mine, also emailed (si47gmc)and hopefully will get a reply soon maybe even a picture

From what i have read on Stovebolt , i appear to be very fortunate to have a complete set of seats , especially over here in the UK.
Thanks Lez
