how rare are factory bucket seats in a '65 C10?
I was out looking at a bunch of old iron a farmer needs to sell/move off his back forty, and among all the old Fords was a '65 C10 stepside with factory bucket seats. I tried to get a pic through the vent window, but the wasps were buzzing around pretty good.
Just wonderin' if I should snag those buckets. Here's a pic:

I'd grab the buckets even if just for the frames to use as a core. I've heard of the 67 buckets making it into some mid-to-late '66s. |

Re: how rare are factory bucket seats in a '65 C10?
Boy they sure look factory...they aren't 67-68 buckets...I have a set of those in my '67...is there an option sticker in the glove box like the 67's?
I'll have to check. SC

Get the seats if you can.
The 702 V-12 was used in the B7000. Cool looking truck. Bob

Re: how rare are factory bucket seats in a '65 C10?

Thanks, SC

I have seen a factory ad for a 66 GMC with factory buckets and they also advertise cut pile carpeting not the loop.

Re: how rare are factory bucket seats in a '65 C10?
Check out the rare extended cab on Ebay (Item #4621199555). Do I see the fabled bucket seats or are my old eyes playing tricks on me? This truck is from Alaska (supposedly) & has factory air? Someone buy this thing!!
