My 70 has med blue int. It has bench seat that I'm changing to buckets. I'm not sure if my car has the original seat upholstery. At first I didn't think so because their in excellant condition. The car is documented low mileage. I've been told by a good authority that the door panels are repops. What I need to know is who if anybody has the correct color med blue for a 1970 chevelle. So far I have samples from Legendary and PUI. I actually ordered covers from OPGI (they would not send samples) and none of these match my existing interior color. Could I have older versions of repops and they changed their color a little? Don't say the sun has faded them because mine are darker than any I looked at. PUI's were closest. Legendarys and OPGI were closer to what I would say the blues in 66 & 67 or a light blue. Does anybody else make factory style seat covers? I really don't won't to change my whole interior to match my buckets. Anyone have any experience and could shed a little insight? Any help would be appreciated.

check your cowl tag for the int code. 70 bench cars had six Med. blue's.
Oddly, There was no Med. blue offered for bucket seat cars.

Thanks Scot. I don't know why I didn't think to check that. My car was a 762 which was cloth and my seats are vinyl so that solves that mystery they are diffently not original. On checking interior codes it show 765 in bench and bucket and I would assume this is what I'm trying to match. Maybe I can pull my seat and see if any tags can be found. So my covers came from somebody anybody else make upholstry besides the 3 mentioned? Any more ideas?
