HELP...68 Bucket Insert Dimensions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

stllookn · 12-15-2007, 03:45 PM

I am having a set of '68 50th Anniversary bucket covers made and I need the insert dimensions as shown in the picture below. I only have '67 seat covers as patterns (which don't have the inserts) so I am going to have to supply these five (5) dimensions.

I know oldiron has these dimesions since the pics are of the seats in his (previously mine) '68 flatbed. I should never have sold it...LOL!

Here's a pic of what the '68 50th Anniversay buckets will look like...white and gold.

I can't help, but I have to say, does it really get any better looking that Anniversary buddy buckets?

Not in my estimation...I can't wait for this Christmas present...LOL!

I'll measure up my set this weekend for you Mike.

stllookn · 12-15-2007, 05:50 PM

I'm sending them my old '67 seat covers to use as patterns as soon as I get your dimensions, Dennis. The box is ready to go...hint, hint.

**oldiron** · 12-17-2007, 07:59 PM

Mike I gave you six measurements.
The ones from top to bottom on the back cushion are from seam to seam. And the diamention from front of the bottom cushion to the back is from seam to seam.

Dennis, Thanks...that is perfect. I just finished pulling the covers this evening and will box them up tomorrow. I really can't wait to get this project underway. YOU DA MAN!
