Recognize this seat material?

Hello, new member here. Long time Toyota owner. I'm trying to identify exactly what Toyota this material came out of. My Dad was an auto upholsterer his entire life and recently passed from Covid. He reupholstered a couch for me circa 1993 and he said he used "1983 Toyota truck material". Anyway, can anyone help identify exactly which model this material is from? Most of the fabric on the couch is still in very good shape, but our cat scratched-up the bottom of the front.

Any help identifying this material is appreciated, thanks!

I just noticed this code on the backside of the fabric, so I guess it's from an 84, not an 83 vehicle. Any guesses?

Interesting, but not the same. The ribs appear raised and more pronounced on the 88 material. It also appears to be a velour, not cloth.

Thank you!

It's extremely close to the early 90's 4runner/surfs, but not quite. I definitely feel like I have seen it before and will keep thinking of what car it was in

Ok, Ithe only other one I found that is similar is from a 1984 toyota pickup bench seat. I don't think it came on the bucket seats, so it's probably a little harder to find in the real world. There's actually an image of one that is being used as a stock photo for a lot of companies' ads for seat covers:


I think there is another fabric that is VERY close to it that may be different, that can be seen in this link:

This is a link to an image of the interior of a 1990 toyota pickup (I think) of an expired copart ad:

It seems to be the same pattern as well.

It does look like there is a slight pattern hashing every 1" or so, but that may just be new material vs older material that has evened out?
