Nice buy... looks great with the covers.

Ernesto in CO is painting his 50th Anniversary cab...the gold color he is using is just plain sick! I am waiting for his reply on exactly what he is using. I hope to make more progress on my 50th Longhorn tomorrow...slow and painful!

Pic of 2/3 of my 50th Fleet...LOL!

That is the same original color scheme mine was and I'd like to restore it. Please post that color when you get it so we can also have it!!

Thanks! BTW nice truck pics, takes me back...

This is in my 1967 CST . I attached a cup holder to the front of my console. It came out of a late model S-10. Works great.

Actually an old thread brought back to life. But was key to my interest in changing out my bench to BB's.

What type of chevy bracket is needed to make these 1979 Dodge power wagon seats fit into our trucks? Looks like a nice alternative to the original BUDDY BUCKETS?

My passenger side bucket is about 2" lower than the driver and middle seat .Is it missing a set of brackets ? It bolted directly to the frame ,did not have any track under it .

Bringing this one back from the dead...:D

Could I get someone to measure the bottom and back cushions???....I picked these up out of a C-60 truck and thought they'd *might* work if I could find a buddy bucket seat frame and a middle seat (I think I know where one is:D)...The driver seat even has AIR RIDE :metal: :lol:

Heres my sons. We used the buckets from a late jeep grand cherokee. And had the rear seat foam chopped and glued together for the same shape. And then used the same leather to upholster it for the middle. We also installed an am/fm cd in the pan.

Hi, I'm new to the site - helping my dad to complete his 1970 C/10. Can anyone tell me where to find stock vinyl for the 68 style buddy bucket seats?

I just won these buddy buckets on eBay. I ended up paying $445, do you think I over paid? How much do you think I will have I the restore?

Thanks for the help,
Tom
