New bucket seats for the "Shop Truck" - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

C/10 King · 02-02-2012, 10:47 PM

Went to the big "Turlock" swapmeet over the weekend and found these red bucket seats laying around, well to make a long story short I thought these would look fantastic in my black shop truck, what do you think? ..........Oh the last pic is one of my old seats that I just replaced that might be a tad to big for the dumpster.

Wow thats pretty cool, I had heard about the pre 67 buddy buckets but had never seen any till now. Bostram made a pretty close match to those for Dodge trucks back in 74

They do look real close, but my middle seat is the same height as the other two.

Thanks guys, I had a idea that they would look good, but when I actually put them in the truck it was like "Holy Moly"

duallyjams · 02-03-2012, 12:17 AM

Black with a red interior is my favorite especially a 62 bubble top.

shawno72 · 02-03-2012, 12:13 AM

Sunday morning one of the vendors called me stating that he heard I bought the seats and he had the red carpet I needed, it's a small world. Jocko next year I'll go to the GNRS and you can come to Turlock.

That's my plan anyway... GNRS was fun, but, next year!! Turlock or bust.

**N2TRUX** · 02-03-2012, 12:45 AM

OMG you just knocked it out of the park. There is nothing that screams traditional hot rod more than a slick black truck with lipstick read interior. Thank you for having the vision to give that truck the interior it deserved all along.
