Hello all,
I just picked these up along with a large load of other parts and have questions. I know less than nothing about the buddies

1) are these chevy or other? I have heard Dodge and others made them as well
2) it appears the driver side seat is on the pass side for some reason am I looking at this correctly? I assume they were trying to extend the life before recover?
3) what would you value these at? I know what little I have found on them so far shows pricing all over the place depending on condition and locations

I am also assuming I am missing the top of the center jump seat?

thanks
Richard

Re: Buddy Buckets

I am not sure the middle back is actually missing. I found a thread where Hart Rod talks about them being offered in a Suburban as well but they did not have the back since there was nothing to rest it on.

Re: Buddy Buckets

It's definitely Chevrolet buddies. It also looks like the suburban set up to me. some people won't like me for this but as far as price it's worth what someone is willing to pay. You can always start high and come down.

too much stuff

Re: Buddy Buckets

Looks like a 67-68 GM suburban set up. From what I have seen lately, I would put $800 on them and see if you get any offers from there.
And yes, it looks like the seats were swapped around to extend the life...
Nice score!

Those are great! That's definitely a suburban center console, :metal:.

Re: Buddy Buckets

They are starting to grow on me. I may rebuild them and put in my 68 panel.
