color question

Well, the truck that my dad bought is presenting a bit of a conundrum as far as the color scheme. it's painted brown now, but along the way, it was black, and it left the factory as an ivory color (can't remember the name offhand). Anyway, the interior is all the same ivory color, with tan plastic, and a black steering column, wheel, dash and center panel. Now, here is the problem. The seat is the correct STYLE seat, but it's got a red vinyl cover. Was this even availible as an option, or should it be a tan or white seat? What was the optional colors for an ivory truck as far as the seat goes? Thanks guys.

It's been a while, but I know the ivory white was Ford color "Wimbleton White," and it came with options of beige, light blue, and I believe burgandy interiors as well... The best clue to determine the original interior color scheme is that the door panels, dash pad and sun visors matched the seat color in the vinyls and the fabric seat covers were a plaid including the interior color as the primary color.

that's the color...forgot the name. ANyway, the interior is all there. The floor and roof and such is painted the WW, and the dash panels and door panels are a light tan. However, the seat is the burgundy color. Was this even an option, or should it be a tan seat as well?

The original seat was either tan vinyl or a tan plaid fabric/vinyl combo. The burgandy seat cover was added later by an owner.
