GM A-Body Buckets in a '68 C10
 

Does anyone use 67 GM A-body Chevelle seats in their truck? I have a line on a pair with side release and picked up a console on here a bit ago.

I understand that I will have to figure mounts. These come with tracks. Figure they might be something different than the elusive Buddy Buckets.

Anyone use these and have pics?

Thx, dave

You will get to sit a little lower than if in buddies, to me that is a plus. Jim

The bucket seats in my '71 GMC Jimmy, I'm told, are mid '80s F-body [Firebird/Camaro] types. PO put them in mounted on 4" x 4" wooden blocks. The seats are shot but not repairable since they were a moulded-foam-on-wire-springs deal.
Looking to upgrade when my "ship comes in."

I have a set out of a 69 chevelle that I used in my 70 gmc before I tore it apart, you do sit lower but I liked it and plan on using them again when my truck is back together

Modify the brackets and you can sit as high or low as you'd like.

Picked up a set of 67 Buckets side release and a console off this site. here is the very first mock-up to see how it will look.

I found a distributor who makes houndstooth inserts so I will have these custom covered to make houndstooth covers that look like the bench in my 72 GMC.

I like it.
