Where did these buckets come from?

[bzblaine]

I have been looking for some new seats for my 1970 c10 step side for some time now. I'm a big guy (6'4 300lbs) so I have decided on an 88-94 GM seat to give me the most room. I came across these seats. The guy said these are not the stock seats. To me they look like buddy buckets, but I know they are not. Can someone help me identify them please?

Favors mid 90's Chevy truck buckets .

Couple of questions.. Will these work for the application I need them for? Fairly easy installation? Is there supposed to be like a jumper seat in the middle? Or a console?

I put some red ones just like that in my 1970. Easy enough to install. I don't remember any console or seat in the middle of the truck I pulled them from.

What did you end up going with for the middle?

Those seats are 88-89 only the seats went to a velour material in model year 1990. Of course the frames were pretty close from 88-94. 95 changed the seats until the end of the run in 98, but the bolt holes remained the same throughout the model style 88-98. I am full of useless info from this model truck I built hundreds of them. Jim

That's great info! Thanks! Call me crazy but these appear to have Valore on them. Did these seats originally come with a console?

Nothing yet. I plan to get something that will fit in there and make a little seat that folds over to a console with cup holders as well. If I can't find something, I will try to build something. Because I like the idea of a bench and a console. Similar to what some of the modern day trucks do.

Before you get to attached to those seats you need to know that they are not built like most other seats in that the material "velour" is bonded to the seat foam base which makes them difficult and expensive to have them reupholstered . if your happy with the blue material you can clean them using Windex and a shop vac also any grease stains will come off by using lacquer thinner sparingly on a lint free towel .
