67-68 Buddy Buckets Seat/Console
 
Anyone have pictures and/or the dimensions for the console buddy seat that go with a set of 67-68 bucket seats? I've got the seats without the center console and I'm thinking I'll have to mock up my own. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I can post the measurments later this morning. Are you interested in the box dimensions or the the entire seat?

Hey SOON2BLAZE,
I could really use the box but I'll take the whole thing If you don't mind. Thanks!

Do you have the seats & the frame work? Have you tried to find just a box and the center cushions? I sold one on the parts board last year and may have another.

I've got the seats and frame but the old guy I bought them from didn't have the buddy seat/console. I've been lookin' all over for just the center and, with no luck, figured I'd have to fab my own.

How's Olympia these days? I lived in Washington for years and hope to move back soon. I've got a brother in Silverdale, parents in Coulee Dam, and my wife is from Wenatchee!

The measurements for the box ( inside measurements) are front to back 16 3/4, width 12 3/4, there is a 1/4 lip at the top of the box. The pad for the lower seat cushion is a 1/2 inch larger in diameter than the box lip all the way around. The upper cushion/ arm rest measures f to b 14" width is 14 1/4. If this is as clear as mud, PM me and I'll fax you a drawing. Good Luck, post it when you get it finished!

Some Dodge buckets had a similar setup.

I DO have a center box and seat cushions. Notice the unique hinge built in the box to let the seat back move up & down in the correct location. The cushions are intact enough to be good patterns, but you will want to cut new pieces of plywood and maybe foam. PM/email me for details: frankeham@comcast.net.

Frank, I might be interested in those, if kevs c10 passes. What do you want for them?
