Hello Experts..... I am about to pick up my first MV with an engine (I have a few trailers). It is a 1984 M1028. I have been reading a ton of stuff in here already and look forward to bringing it back to its original condition (maybe a few minor tweaks). It is still in the 24v configuration and still camo. Less then 28,000 miles on the odometer and runs beautifully. Was owned by a state fire agency at one time but never painted so I am assuming they never put it into service. It seems to have almost no body rust and may have been stored indoors for a period of time (also in California that tends to keep vehicles rust free). I am excited to get this project started.
One thing I will need to do sooner than later is reupholster the bench seat. I searched through SS and found nothing that would help me and nothing I could find in the numerous TM's in that section. I am hoping someone can answer this simple question. What is the reddish brown color of the seat material called. I have looked at some restoration sights and they list all the GM/Chevy interior colors, but it is hard to tell what the military had as there are several that are close (and of course I am sure my trucks has also faded a bit over the years). Any help (pictures and a new thread coming when I get the truck) would be greatly appreciated.
I am attaching a link to a company that shows all of the GM/Chevy colors
