50th buddy buckets with cloth inserts?

I have searched for an hour now......

Did the factory make buddy buckets in the 50 th anniversary seats with the cloth inserts like on the bench seat pictured below?



Anyone have a picture of buddy buckets in 50 th trim with cloth inserts?

Try this again.

Here is the cloth pattern



Anybody have or even seen buddy buckets with the cloth pattern as the inserts?

No, the factory cover was all vinyl with a pleated gold vinyl insert. Actually had to go and verify that for you, must be slipping I guess.

Well, someday when I have $2500 burning a hole in my jeans I just might have to make a set........

They will cost a whole lot less to make with a vinyl insert as opposed to the cloth insert.

Once you spend $2000, you might as well as spend $2500 and get what you want!

Just dreaming........

I have a small tear in my current bench and I am looking at the cost to replace the cover and I am just looking into the cost of upgrading to buckets.

Re: 50th buddy buckets with cloth inserts?

I had a set of buddy covers made with b/w houndstooth inserts, installed, with new foam for $500. Local Upholstery shops are the way to go on this...not online orders.

Just the cost of new foam is almost $500 now days. You got a deal!

Re: 50th buddy buckets with cloth inserts?

My local guy quoted me $2000 to recover my bench!

Now that is monopoly coloured money, so $1500 US.

I do not own buddy buckets.

My estimate
Maybe $1000 to buy a starter set of buckets.
$1000 in foam and covers
$500 in labour to put it together.
