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

!

ChevLoRay · 08-07-2009, 02:18 PM

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.

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.

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

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.

**71blksuper4x4** · 01-13-2010, 04:11 PM

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

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

dracko · 06-01-2010, 12:26 PM

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.

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.

dracko · 06-01-2010, 05:58 PM

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

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 . . ....

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

FL71C10 · 11-02-2010, 09:09 AM

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

'72_GMC · 03-07-2011, 01:03 PM

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?

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

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.
