Buddy Buckets Need Help Please
 

I have a set of Dodge Buddy Buckets I have had for some time. Can anyone tell me what modification I need to do to make them work in my suburban. Measurements would be great. Thanks

I have a set of them in my '67 Panel Truck but for the life of me I can't remember what I had to do to get them to bolt up. I will look in the morning.

I finally made it out to the storage building to check mine but I'm afraid my installation won't help you much. The Panel Truck has a step up across the floor even with the back of the doors. I just had to move the buckets back against the step up , center it side to side, mark the holes in the floor and drill them.

I put a 3" wide 1/4" flat steel bar under the floor for the front and rear bolts on each side and tightened it all up.

You might post this on the Burban side of the site. The Dodges are similar to the Chevy ones but they come with a slide on the passenger side. But I have no idea as if the same conversion for keeping the center back upright in a Suburban will work. Do some searches for converting a pickup seat to a Suburban application. I know you can also find some information on using the Dodge version in a pickup. There is also a "Show your Buddy Buckets" thread that may give you a lead to PM the right person. You may have to do some Imagineering of your own.
Good luck.
