Price was right. Now decide how you want to restore them. Looks like you may need some foam but when you are finished you should have close to what a bench would run you. Plus personally "buddys" cured that feeling you get from our traditional bench seats after 3 hrs of driving. So win win for you. Enjoy them and let us know your intent and final outcome.

I will be redoing them just not sure what pattern. I will paint or powder coat the frame

Thanks John Greg did the seats in Vitamin C10.

I could be wrong, but from the angle of the photo :uhmk: the frame looks a little narrow, like it could maybe a dodge frame, again I hope I'm wrong.

That makes 2 of us.

If I were to order foam and covers exactly what year range are we talking about here with my seat?

I picked this set up from a local guy that didn't like them after reupholstering them. Said they were to high for his liking.......I gave 400.00 for them

If there is a bolt holding the back and the bottom together, you should be able to loosen it slightly on both sides and then they will fold forward. There will also be a bolt that allows you to adjust how high the seat backs lean back. These are the pics I have right now showing what I'm talking about.

To hell with the truck........I just need those seats in my garage!

I just purchased a set of these seats but they are missing the adjustable tracks and the center seat is in pieces. Does anyone have good pics of the base and bottom of the center seat? Thanks

I picked up this other set of dodges at a local yard for $20. the seats console and frame are nice except the covers and the lower ds foam could use some work.
one day they'll get redone and put in the kids truck but he has a sweet bench seat so were in no hurry.

one question though do the chevy covers fit on the dodge seat/foams?
if not were are you guys getting the dodge covers?

Idkw but i also picked up these other two buckets from a early ram charger for a extra $10 even though they are not buddys i thought they looked vintage enough too snatch'm up for a side project.

Here are the original ones in my '68 CST. The jacking instructions decal is on the passengers side seat riser and it does not have the Chevy Bowties in the top corners. The second set are Dodge buddies that I just put in my '67 Panel.

Re: Lets see those BUDDY BUCKETS!!!!!!!

Has anyone tried contouring the foam in the seat to make it more comfortable? The original foam gives no lower back support, and are too thick at the top. I would like to get some side support as well.

I have the buddy bucket frame and center, but some PO replaced the buckets with something else. Can anyone identify them? I haven't a clue but the backs are adjustable with a wheel and tilt forward.
