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.
