Are these factory buddy buckets? Anything to look for?

Thanks,

They are the buddy buckets do you have the tube frame as well? Here's a pic of my set to compare with

Another set of mine

I do not know how to tell the difference but very similar buddy buckets were available in Jeep and Dodge trucks, that might be the only thing to look for but they at least look period correct.

They have the correct mounting brackets on them the slide set is the drivers side and the pass is stationary

Thanks guys. Not sure if the frame is there or not. Are they hard to come by?

the frame is hard to come by

That's what I was afraid of.

Still some good parts there. If you can get a deal on them I would scoop them up. I have an extra dodge frame I was going to mod for amp racks under my buckets but I scrapped that idea. It can be made to work. I think someone is reproducing the frames now also.
