That pattern is tweed. Gray, white, black tweed. I don't recall seeing tweed as factory upholstery on any truck. I am not an expert on upholstery but I think odds are good that the seat was recovered. It looks nice though. If you want it to stay the same, tell the upholstery shop to match it as closely as possible.

This is actually the original seat that came with the truck when it was bought in late '84. My father-in-law picked it up at our local Chevy dealer. Traded an '82 longbed for it. Only truck I have ever seen this seat in.

I think that fabric style is "Deluxe Cloth" and it is done in "Dark Charcoal" - RPO code is 18D.

Your seat is an A52 style (just a plain old bench seat):

Note that the Trim Material Type index at the top of the first page is screwed up. They only list three codes, when there should be four. There should be two types of cloth - Custom (C) and Deluxe (D). You can look down the and see the two vinyls (V & W) and also the two cloth fabrics.

I had to go to the 1984 parts list to figure it out:

And even that was confusing because in 1985 they changed the names from Cloth (C) and Custom Cloth (D) to Custom and Deluxe.

Awesome, I looked at the RPO codes and mine is a 18C, then it shows CJJ1, Charcoal Deluxe. That shows as the combo in one of the pictures you have. Thanks a bunch...that answers quite a bit of questions I had.

Has any one used these guys if so how did you like there stuff.
I ordered some carpet samples from them and it was nice stuff. I ended up using vinyl flooring on my rig, which they don't handle, so I ordered from somewhere else. I would buy from them though. I've seen the outfit used for interior goods on tv shows.
