another buddy bucket question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just purchased a '68 GMC truck with buddy buckets. Was wondering what I would have to do to make the fit and work in my '67 burb? Thanks

What he said,

. You'll have to drill one hole for the center mount bolt. You'll also have to figure out a way to keep the "buddy seat" back section from falling completely over if you are going to use it as a seat. I've already done it, but can't take pictures right now because my center seat is at the upholsterer. Here's a picture of the ones I'm putting in my 69 burb.

those look good Rob. Mine our pretty torn up. I installed them today and they fit great! I sit up higher with them, then I did with the camaro buckets that were in there. I am very happy with them! Now I just have to get them reupholstered. When you get a chance Rob, take a pic of the bracket you made to hold the center seat up. I'm sure I can fab something.

Forgot to ask about the big pocket on the back of the seat. What exactly would this have been for since these seats were in a truck and they don't move forward?

I'll take pictures when I get it back. What pocket are you talking about? Do you have pictures of yours?
