need pics and opinions on new silverado buckets
I've got a chance at some pristine 2012 light titanium cloth bucket seats for $150. They are manual seats but are basically brand new. Any pictures of these buckets installed in our trucks? Opinions are welcomed too. Making a purchasing decision this afternoon

Re: need pics and opinions on new silverado buckets
IMO, I don't care if they're buckets out of a 2014 Silverado, original buckets with console would look MUCH better.

These seats in my '71 are out of a 2010 Silverado. Feel free to ask any questions.

Upgrading the seats was probably the best bang for the buck when putting custom mods on this truck! |

Re: need pics and opinions on new silverado buckets
Within moments of getting them. Headrests will definitely go. I am thinking of hacing them covered in blue vinyl/leather and blue/black houndstooth if that changes anyones opinions. I will also be using a factory cupholder console i already have

Re: need pics and opinions on new silverado buckets
I can't tell from the picture, what type of seat belts are you using? It looks like you retained the 2010 female ends on the seats, but I can't tell.

Re: need pics and opinions on new silverado buckets
Using the lap belts on the two outside buckets, because the auto wrecker cut the shoulder belts after i bought the seats. Apparently after the airbags go off a solenoid is triggered making the seat belts permanently locked. I'm sure there was a way of making use of them but they were already cut when i got them!

Re: need pics and opinions on new silverado buckets
There is a place here in Arkansas that unlocks the seat belt and probably reweb them as well they do air bag and other types of saftey stuff. Called 5 star airbag in Cabot AR

Re: need pics and opinions on new silverado buckets
Im using Buddy Buckets in mine but cant wait to see yours as I might change my mind although my newly restored Buddy's sure do look and sit good .By the time my truck comes home theres no telling what seats might go in.

Re: need pics and opinions on new silverado buckets
@Pantera:
Any chance I can get a pic with the console down? Also...how much with wide clearance do you have? In other words is the 40/20/40 assembly wider than an original bench? My seats did not come with the center jump seat/console and I'm debating which one to get. The factory ones I've seen (which is what I think you have) have 3 cupholders across the top lid and look really wide. I'm concerned about width and just wanted to check before I bought a jump seat/console. |

This setup is wider (by a few inches) than the bench seat that was in the truck when i bought it which came out of a 90's chevy. |

Re: need pics and opinions on new silverado buckets
Here is what I have so far. I intend to get rid of the headrests and cover the seats with blue vinyl and blue/black houndstooth inserts. I am looking for a late model console like the one Pantera has, but I may run the old console for now. Let me know what y'all think about a console and if you know where I can find a 2007-2012 console because the junkyards around here are dry.

Re: need pics and opinions on new silverado buckets
Without the headrests I like those seats and the console you have looks good to me .It sounds like a very well thought out plan .I would like to see those seats and console mocked up in the cab for a better idea but so far I like them. Im not sure Id give up my new BuddyBuckets just yet but I definitely want to see them when youre done so I can decide on mine.

Re: need pics and opinions on new silverado buckets
I'm with flashed...without the head rests, they would probably look pretty similar to the stocks, especially with the houndstooth, so I would run the stock console. I would also like to see some pics of it sitting in the cab...
