Suburban bucket seat ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

hgs_notes · 09-15-2009, 11:12 PM

I saw a 71 suburban today, C-20 with a big block and AC, PS, PB. It had bucket seats and a console that are identical to the ones in my Jimmy. I thought the suburbans had the same style buddy buckets as the trucks.

Which way are they typically?

BTW, I did try to talk to the owner, but nobody was home. The body was straight but very rusty (MN). If it had a tilt and tach dash I probably would have sat on the porch until someone showed up. You could tell it had not been driven for a long time and it did not have a for sale sign or anything, but it never hurts to ask.

If I ever get a burb, I want it to be a 4x4, and big.

The bucket seat options for the Burbs were the same as the trucks. 67-68 Buddy buckets and 69-72 buckets with center console. At least that's what I've seen.

and the books say the same thing... buddys in 67/68, and buckets/console 69 - 72

I will agree with rob and andy. I have a set of 72 burb buckets and they are the same as the trucks but the have backs like a blazer. Any chance it is close to my area? ( if you don't want it). Eric

Nope Eric, it's a few miles west of Rushford I think, way down in SE MN. I didn't realize the buddy buckets were 67-68 only.

Wow! I have never seen a burb with factory buckets. That would be pretty sweet looking.

Longhorn Man · 09-17-2009, 11:52 PM

the buddy buckets in a burb didn't have the seat back on the center console part. It was very rare, only seen one, and it was on here.

Any chance you could get a picture of the SPID, as well as the seats? My Sub is an original bucket rig, and has "HD Bucket Seats" on the SPID...but it currently has a bench.

Almost no chance. I won't be back in that part of the state for months.

I have a set of 68 Buddy Buckets in my 68 Burb just like the green ones above. Been wanting to do the burb up for years but never have the $$.

My '71 has buckets with no center console.

My 69 C-20 Burb has the original factory buckets with console.

**Chevy454** · 10-29-2009, 04:02 PM

Could I get some pictures of the buckets in these burbs, please! Cool stuff...
