I have little to no knowledge on them, so how do I know if the seats I have are chevy or dodge buddy buckets?

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

Thanks for the info :metal:

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

Now that's just WRONG!

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

I, umh, need a set of the frames if you care to cull one from your heard :)!

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

These aren't mine, but they are from a '68. They have the original seat belt for the center seat and the buckles for the outer seats.

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

Saw a set yesterday on Dallas CL if anyone is looking. Think they were $650.

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

Anyone know if that style of buckets came in a 1970 CST 10 SWB? Wondering if the ones in my truck are the originals or from a earlier truck.

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

no buddy buckets after 68'. You should have the sporty bucket seats if they are original. Trevor

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

Herer's what would have come in a '70.

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

Thanks for the quick responses. The buckets with the child seat in the center with storage under it is what I have now like pictured above. I take it I should have the console in the center? Think the style I have now can be converted or is the seat frame different? Thanks

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

No, the seat foam/structure and the brackets are way wrong. Trevor

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

No they are completely different seats, but what you have is very desirable, so you shouldn't have a hard time trading or selling it if you decide to switch. Of course the buckets and console are too, so expect them to be kinda pricey. You will probably spend $700-$1200 for a restored set.(buckets/console) The buddy buckets run about the same.

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

Those seat belts are from a late model something i believe.

Easiest way i tell on the frames is the chevy frame has the extra attaching point under the center console. Not there on a dodge.

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

anyone know if 67-72 buddy bucket seats will fit into a '64? i know anything is possible with modifications, but just wondering if its a relatively easy swap.

cheers.

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

Yes, like they were made for 'em. The factory bench seat holes line up w/the buddy-bucket frame holes so nothing extra needed there. The center support needs to be shortened to fit the 64's floor pan. That's as simple as cutting the original 90° end off, drilling some holes, & bolting it back on @ the correct height.... I have some going in my 64.

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

Hey thanks scoti! Good to hear. I don't have the seats yet, but at least if I manage to find some I know to buy'em. if you get some pics of yours fire them my way. drackett_19@hotmail.com

cheers

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

I've posted pics of the seats, but don't have any of them in the truck. I will be able to get some in the next few weeks once I get the truck back from the paint shop (for the interior).

Before & after . . ....

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

Can someone send me the measurement of the metal seat pan for the middle buddy seat? I got a smoking deal on a buddy bucket seat, but it was missing that piece. I will need to fabricate my own pan. Any help would be greatly appreciated! - Eric

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

Will buddy buckets from a 66 chevy truck fit in our trucks?

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

Can anybody tell me how the center Buddy seat back works in a
Suburban? I bought a set yesterday and it looks like that center seat back would just flop over backwards till the top hit the floor without a gas tank to lean on, is something missing?

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

the center will flop over backwards. not practical for a suburban...which is why they only came in trucks.

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

Not so fast my friend! They DID come in Burbs but the center console didn't have a back to it (the flip up part), :), just the bottom tray and seat cushion. The factory truck ones can be modified pretty easily to keep the seat back from flopping over. Check out my burb build and there should be pictures of how to do it.

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

cool. i figured if they did come with them there wouldnt have been a back.

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

Man, that is one awesome looking Burb, WoW, My eyes however must have been distracted by all the awesome looking gear because I couldn't find any detail about your seats? I can imagine just cutting that back part off, but exactly where would certainly be a help.

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

Here's some pictures I have saved:

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

I didn't cut it off. I welded some plates on the back for re-enforcement and then made some brackets so the back flips up so the seat can be used. Not great pictures, but I think you get the point.

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

Hey, those photos are Awesome, I like the open back program, That is awesome, I guess there is enough seats in that truck without making another one center front. I wonder where I could get those burb hinges?

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

Burb buddy's are pretty rare, but I'm sure you could make something similar.

Re: Buddy Bucket Seats
 

I heard there are repos of these, is this true?
