IA Bucket Seats 71/72 Blue with Truck Brackets - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

doubleb's69 · 05-21-2012, 03:46 PM

I have a set of 71/72 bucket seats from a 71 GMC motor home. These seats are really nice and and could be used as is for a cool patina look or with very minimal foam work could be recovered. I say minimal because something was laying at and angle across the drivers seat on the right side and the foam took shape and there is a 4 inch section by about 1 inch that dips from it. The seats come with the brackets. This includes the truck stationary brackets for the passenger side. The skirts are good and the vinyl has some rips and cracks but no foam is tore out anywhere. Both seat covers have some rust on them from parts sitting on them over time. I can take more pics upon request. I really want to hold on to these because they are so nice but I won't get them in a project for years so I thougt I will try to sell them.

First "I'll take them" gets them. Asking questions does not put you in line. My wife and I work opposite hours so I always have the kids so hang in there with me if you ask for a shipping quote.

I'm asking $500 or give me an offer, worse I can do is say no. Price does not include shipping. Shipping to the lower 48 or local pick up. Thanks for looking.

wish you were closer I'd be interested if I could pickup. Shipping would kill it for me.

It might but it might not. I would probably ship Greyhound and they are pretty reasonable compared to UPS and FedEx.

Thanks Randy. I figure someone should be able to use them instead of me holding on to them for years not being used anytime soon. If they don't sell they will hang out in the garage and await a 3/4 ton 4X4 some day.

doubleb's69 · 05-22-2012, 10:22 AM

Morning bump.

No problem. Fort Worth is huge and it would be hard to figure out a zip.

bean · 05-25-2012, 01:48 PM

any word on shipping yet? thanks

No not yet. Been busy but it will get done.

47thriftmaster · 05-25-2012, 01:59 PM

If it gets to me I'll take them, pending shipping to 98467? Thanks

doubleb's69 · 05-25-2012, 10:53 PM

Update. while removing the drivers seat brackets I found one of the tabs that the upholstery is hog ringed to is broken. The skirts are otherwise good just some surface rust. These are still great for 41 years old. If this is a problem let me know but I do have quotes. Thanks for everyone's patience.
