ebay auction if that doesn't work, its ITEM # 4516486789

Anyways, I know we have some stockers who need their seat upholstered and this is an in-expensive way to do do it right and be factory option correct. I emailed the seller asking him to place it on a seat if he has one so maybe he will. Just thought I'd do a quick post on a rare factory option. I personally have no use as my seat is nice, so bid away fellas! -4speed

I saw it well before I read your post.
It looks EXACTLY like the delapidated original seat I have in my 57 parts truck!

yeah a neat piece for sure. I'm not sure if it was the same pattern as the seat in the 57's or a different pattern? -4speed

My 57 parts truck has the original seat cover still on the seat, although worn and tattered, it's the exact same pattern as the new one on Ebay.
Same colors, everything!
So I'd have to say it's correct at least for a '57!

HA I just looked at the auction & someone asked a question about it, the seller replied he has 18 people watching it!
Now my question is, or shall we take bets on, how much it will sell for?
My guess is around 250-300 bucks.
Anyone else want to guess?

Looks like the one that was in my 59 also but can't vouch for it's originality. PS I hate Ebay.

Sixoh, you should bid on it! You would save alot in the price of new seat material let alone the labor to recover.

Don't worry bigwin, if that's you that has it listed you'll get plenty of bids before it's over.
They'll all wait until the last few seconds like they always do.
With 300 hits & 18 watchers I know you're going to get more than 50 bucks for it.
