Re: Bucket Help

I do not know how to tell the difference but very similar buddy buckets were available in Jeep and Dodge trucks, that might be the only thing to look for but they at least look period correct.

Re: Bucket Help

Thanks guys. Not sure if the frame is there or not. Are they hard to come by?

That's what I was afraid of.

Re: Bucket Help

Still some good parts there. If you can get a deal on them I would scoop them up. I have an extra dodge frame I was going to mod for amp racks under my buckets but I scrapped that idea. It can be made to work. I think someone is reproducing the frames now also.
