Need Photos of OEM

ScottyP2448 · Apr 1, 2023

I have a 1988 C1500 Single Cab Short Wheel base with the blue interior. I am looking for a photo of the original interior.

I just found my first truck my dad gave me when I was 16 and bought it with no motor trans or anything. Surprisingly the interior was still in pretty good shape. I don’t believe any of the parts had been changed but the seat but I’d like a photo of the OEM blue interior just for reference.

Does anyone have one??

Have you tried looking at the GM heritage site, they have a hella ton of materials from GM archives.
Then just do some surfing for 88 sales brochures maybe?
Good luck.

I have a '88 c 1500 I bought a few years back that needs a little love with a blue cloth interior. I can post pics in a week or so as I am down south visiting if you can wait.

Truck isn't completely OEM but maybe I can show you what you might need. These pics were taken in various years with various different interior configurations I had going. I can get some current ones or anything specific you might need.

Here's my 88 Silverado before I redid the interior. It has 2 blues and black surrounding the instrument cluster. The dark blue continues from the upper part of the door over the top of the dash while the lighter blue goes along the face of the dash. Note the "Silverado" emblem is missing.

Here's all I have that shows the carpet too. It's hard to tell the top of the dash is actually darker than the face in this picture. Plus, all of the headlight, other switches and bezel are black. 89+ switched to grey. HTH

I knew my door panels had been swapped after looking at a 92 in person yesterday so I need to get some of those door panels. My biggest question is, the OEM bench seat. Do you have a picture of it??

Nope, sorry. The truck came with a POS bench seat I couldn't hardly sit in for more than 5 minutes before my back started hurting. I installed a set of bucket seats with center fold down arm rest - much more better :Big Laugh:

I can get you some from an 89 in a little while.
Anything in particular you are looking for?

I really just want to know what the factory seat looks like and possibly the factory gauges. Dad said mine had been swapped out from the original that was in it.

Here’s the seat, I will get you some shots of the dash later.
Hope this helps.
