Re: Buddy bucket differences? CST question.

The tilt appeared in late 69 or early 70 from what I have read on here. When /if I get past the 70 that is on top of the list at the present time I'll get you some buddy bucket pics if you want my 68 GMC has them. In fact it kinda has two sets. When I got the truck I traded fore it and never had paid it any real attention until after the deal had been struck, but when I carried my wife by to show it to her on day the man was in his yard sitting in a lawn chair, I ask to look at my truck he said why not just take it home. Well I didn't bring the trailer you see and no tow bar, he stopped me it just across town so drive it home. I said it runs? sure he said. he hooked a pair of cables to it and said well it hasn't been started in months so it may need some help but it fired off I looked inside it was a buddy bucket truck formally a 396 t400 with air, power steering and brakes ,speed warning that worked[but only 3 gauges?]wood bed. I noticed the seats didn't match the center but didn't say anything. the next time he came to my shop, he had bought several truck and cars from me I asked about the seats he said those are what is called utility buckets. I took the adjuster off of them and bolted them to the seat frame already in there. Would you like the other seats? oh I also have the tailgate that was taken off when the truck was about 3 months old in my shop up town do you want it too? Well come get them. It was like Christmas!!
