Re: high back buckets

Bottom line, you could not get buckets seats in a PICKUP thru 1987 from the assembly line, Bruce confirmed this...so they stopped prior to that sometime. Am am pretty sure it was in the early 80's they stopped...thought it was 82, could be 83. They did use high back buckets until 91 in the Blazers and Suburbans.

I am also pretty sure GM didn't produce the ambulance bodies (the back half) or the ambulances themselves. My guess is that they were created by other companies or coach builders (who could have added bucket seats as part of the build)...they just started with a cab and chassis model.

If anyone here has a ambulance with buckets, we could have them look at their glove box or RPO sheet to confirm whether or not they came in the cab from GM.
