Here are the scans of the full color dealer brochures showing the 55 and 56 seats:
55 interior:


The Custom Cab seat for 55. Notice what it says about the color combinations that go with certain body colors.


The 56 seats:




Notice the closeup of the material and its description. The 56 Custom Cab seats were color keyed also, red or coppertone.

Awesome, thank you. A variation of this I think is exactly what I'm looking for.

Looks like the springs are different too, that's good to know. I was wondering how someone could fit 5" of foam on one.

Anyone know of a good place to have one custom made? Does Mid-Fifty offer any fabric they haven't listed?

Hey Guys,

It's been a while since I have checked in to FTE!

I know that you're going for a stock look, but I went a little away from that with an upholstery kit from Raybuck. It looks like this:
