They might be utility buckets that came in the very low option blazers.

$600 for buddy buckets that need redone WOOF that's expensive!
Granted those are some of the nicer unrestored examples I have seen but still.

Re: Are these Buddy Buckets????

When i got my 68 GMC it has utility buckets mounted on buddy bucket frame. the guy I got the truck from I asked him about it and he said he liked those better, and by the way I have the others at my shop if you want them along with the tailgate that was taken off like in 69. Jim

Re: Are these Buddy Buckets????

How often do you get a truck with two sets of buckets? It was a big block with buddys and air steering and brakes[ but it was 3/4 ton] that I;m changing to a short 5 lug

Re: Are these Buddy Buckets????

Warmonger, those buckets are correct for your Blazer but not buddy buckets. Buddy buckets only came in 67-68 pickups. Your seats would work for a blazer or a 69-72 pickup. If you don't want them let me know and I'd gladly help fund the buddy buckets

Re: Are these Buddy Buckets????

They are recovered factory seats. Look on the SPID for bucket seat option, since yours isn't a CST. If no bucket seat option (same as CST but different vinyl), then those are utility buckets and the passenger one will be listed as an option
