     Those are nice Zieg, but aren't they suppose to lean inwards at the top of the chairs and not out ?  My vote is fabric, I don't like to stick to vinyl.

Vinyl. You don't stick to it too long, abd Captn said its so much easier to keep clean. Plus it doesn't absorb orders if you smoke.

Chris, straight from the sticker in the glove box lists option #76W as XXN 1 Mahogany Cus.  I believe it is the same color that came in the Military pickups and Blazers, a redish brown...

There are pro/con arguments for every seat covering, but it's difficult to beat cloth for affordable year-round comfort.  Vinyl if it's a work truck; leather for a cruiser....  Are you adding heat when you recover?

No heat, just looking for the factory look and comfort.  I actually like the vinyl better and since it is a Scottsdale with the vinyl floor I am leaning that way.  The latest I am finding that my color isn't a common one and so far no one has that in their line up so I don't know what I want now...
