Here is my re-upholster. 68 F250CS

Original was green. Looked for something that matched for a long time but could not find anything. I went with more of a grey / green houndstooth pattern which works well it matches the new seatbelts.

Hey hog, I was thinking of going to the Ranger design for my 67 custom and using the buttons from my Ranger. Your seat and colors would be perfect for my 67 custom, but I also need new armrests in offwhite, but 67 armrest are not avaiable in the offwhite color like the original. Now that I look at my color it looks more like tan?

67 428 F250,

Your color may be the same as my 67 Custom Cab, "medium beige," a little less brownish than tan. You can get the original fabric and trim from SMS at http://www.smsautofabrics.com/. I gave them my VIN number for the trim code, and they sent me a sample that was dead-on. Just cannot afford it right now.

67 428 F250 - if you want a couple of samples I do have some leftover vinyl I could send to you. Shoot me a PM with your address and I will drop them in mail. I will have to check out the SMS website as well. Wish I knew about before I bought my vinyl

SMS sent me a sample of both the fabric and the vinyl trim, including the striped trim across the top of the seat back.
