Saddle Leather Interior

[mrbrown88]

Hello all. Just picked up an 86 K10 and looking to fully restore it and put a 76 front clip on it. Trying to get a plan together and when planning the interior I really want to do a saddle leather (like you would see in a new High Country or King Ranch). My problem is trying to find interior parts in that chocolate brown type color. Does anyone know if anyone makes them or any suggestions for matching? Also, I'm planning on doing two tone on the exterior with a forest green and white down the middle and wondering if the dark green would look good with the saddle leather on the interior.

I'm just brain storming right now, but I like to get a good plan and any suggestions you all can make are greatly appreciated. Also, what do you think I would be looking at cost wise to get this done by an upholstery shop (ballpark…)

Thanks everyone!

My guess is you'd need to paint the rest of the interior parts to match the leather. Or most likely find a shade of interior paint that you like and get the leather to match it. There's probably less choices for the interior paint than choices of leather.

I like the idea. Very dark brown interior with the "baseball glove" type leather seat. I think the dark brown parts are very hard to find though, probably have to start with tan or maroon panels and dye those.

My '86 Burb is dark green met with a beige two-tone, I think the beige looks much better than white does.

I've heard people have decent luck with SEM on panels and such, may be your best bet

Yeah, with proper prep work, SEM is really good stuff.
