Re: what kinds of Buckets you guys got
 

this ought to be interesting. im currently going from one of those nice plush custom truck seats to some free buckets from a 88 camry. just want something lower to the floor to match the 11" steering wheel i got to compensate for not having tilt. easy part is pretty much done for me though ( i hope). the current seat has a rack that runs all the way across and has individual sliders some im gonna reuse all that and just make some plates to mount the seats to those racks should still gain at least 3' of headroom. ill post pics soon as i can tommorrow. shouldnt take the whole day i hope.

I am going to be running the buckets and console out of an 80' Suburban

Re: what kinds of Buckets you guys got
 

awesome pics and the 4 links were freakin amazing threads! i had only seen one of them!

original post changed looking for pics of benches too, i just realized how many times i've had three people in my pick-up...

Re: what kinds of Buckets you guys got
 

I have the thought pretty often to go to buckets, but I have 2 young kids and usually have my wife and 1 of the kids if we go out. I want to have the option to take both kids from time to time too. So, my bench will remain.

Re: what kinds of Buckets you guys got
 

anybody know if the back of the seats can be repaired? some dumb hick (me) built a box and slid the seat back without checking clearances and now all i notice with the seat up is the 2 inch tear in it...

Re: what kinds of Buckets you guys got
 

I have buckets out of a Chrysler Sebring convert. I wanted the integrated seatbelts, and these were the only ones I could find that would fit without modifying the floor. I made a frame to mount them, utilizing the existing bench seat holes. More than likely, I will be going to a bench, if I can ever find one with good cushions for cheap. The truck came with buckets out of a Super Duty, so I know they work too.

I would like to know the same thing. I have some seats like this I want to put in my 85.

Re: what kinds of Buckets you guys got
 

Mine are from a late 80s van they are double arm rests, 360 locking swivel mount, the seat belts also line up perfect and match my interior panels even though the picture doesn't seem like it the cons im having is getting them to mount 100% solid right now it rocks slightly

no picture's, my truck is ChooChoo Custom, it had bucket seats already. I just had to make a plate to bolt the seat's to then bolt the plate to the original frame and slide's

Re: what kinds of Buckets you guys got
 

Very nice. This is exactly the look I am shooting for with my truck. Same color too!!!

Re: what kinds of Buckets you guys got
 

nasty 78 buckets came out and in went my 89 suburban seats in the jimmy
the seats were in the gold burb before using the outer stock bench holes and the inner brakets welded in
the gold burb custom seats broke.....see in thread below

Re: what kinds of Buckets you guys got
 

I bought a pair of red cloth captains chairs (dual armrests), mystery seats because I have no idea what they came out of. Kid I got them from said he thinks they will fit in a 73-87 and thinks they may have come out of an Astrovan. I'm not sure if I'm going to use them or not. I'll probably pull the bench and test fit them, if they look simple I'll do it, but I'm not going to build the truck around a pair of bucket seats. My existing front vinyl bench is in great shape, however it's the old narrow style that dumps one cheek off, leans you against the door or you have to sit behind the radio instead of behind the steering wheel. Hate the 82-older benches. I had an 83 with a comfortable bench, but my 79, 81 and 82 are all stupid, too narrow. Hate to take out a mint looking seat, that matches the rear seat perfectly. I'll have to follow this thread to see if I can learn anything.

the underside frame bars are 16 inches wide/apart both seats(burb and jimmy)
