Buddy bucket assembly pictures!? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Mt Man Chad · 11-22-2009, 09:19 PM

I'm getting ready to put my Buddy buckets together next week!
Dipped and painted frame, new covers, new foam, nickel plated brackets ect ect ect... it should turn out nice!

Does anybody have detailed pictures of the bottom assembled with all the brackets, Thick washers "passenger side" if i remember right? and anything else to help assemble them.

I have all the correct parts just not assembly pictures to put it all together.

Thanks in advance!

Bump...I'd like to see the pics too...Mine came, what appeared to be complete but did not have any "thick washers" or really any other hardware except for bolts holding them to the frame...and of course the brackets that hold the center compartment to the frame...

Not sure what you was really wanting. Everything was self explanatory when I reinstalled mine.

**wancosc356** · 11-30-2009, 09:21 PM

I personally would like to see a schematic or even pictures of how the underside is all assembled.

I just got my set of buddy buckets today. The driver is installed on a slider. The passenger is not installed on the frame. Just curious how it all goes together. Thanks.

The pass. side bolts up using 4 little brackets. Thick spacers go between the seat and the slider. I'll see if I can find some pics.

**wancosc356** · 11-30-2009, 10:35 PM

My passenger seat has the 4 little brackets. So I just need to grab some hex bolts and nut to mount them?

Ill have to look at my driver side to see if there are spacers between the slider and seat.

Pics would be awesome. Thanks.

**Chevy4Life** · 11-30-2009, 10:38 PM

Yep they just bolt on. If your sliders are still on the seat they should still be there.

**wancosc356** · 11-30-2009, 10:40 PM

Ok. Cool. Thanks.

Does anyone repop the sliders? I think I would like to fab up a set for the passenger seat.

**Chevy4Life** · 11-30-2009, 10:56 PM

Not that I know of. I used a set from a dodge and flipped them around for the pass. side. My pass. seat doesn't fold forward so I did it mainly for access.

**wancosc356** · 11-30-2009, 11:05 PM

Oh ok. Both of my seats fold forward. But I think it would be nice to have that side on a slider too. Not a necessity though.

Do anyone's buckets have that seatbelt holder shown in the assy manual? Mine don't and there aren't any holes for it either.
My pass seat has sliders, anyone else? They're stock as far as I know.

Mine don't. My passenger seat doesn't have sliders either. I don't think they had sliders on the passenger seat from the the factory.
