Trading for buddy buckets...good idea?

[Malone34]

So I'm currently bringing back to life my 72 Cheyenne super short step and I have the original bench seat in it. Its in pretty good shape and from what I have researched it is the highest option bench seat for that year truck. I just discovered that my cousin has had some buddy buckets stored away for pretty close to 25 years now. They need to be reupholstered and the only foam work would need to be on the driver side outer edge where you get in and out of all the time. he has no plans for them told me he would trade me straight up for my seat so he could put it in another project to sell. I have always wanted to put buckets with the console in my truck but once I get this truck up and running I would like to be able to drive around my wife and daughter so I know those would be farther on Down the Line. I'm trying to stick to as close to original as I can and I know that buddies only came out of 67 to 68 trucks. Should I pull the trigger and am I overthinking the whole "keep original" thing.
