does anyone have a pic or pics of the differences in gm and dodge buddy buckets?? got a guy looking at a set for me,and the seller can`t send pics,so he needs to see,or hear the differances in the two, before he go`s and looks at them..
thanks

Main thing i am aware of is the GM seats have a bracket under the console that attaches to the floor. The dodge does not. I think the lid on the console of a dodge is taller also, but don't have measurements for you.

the dodge buddy buckets look more like 73 cst buckets .frame is very similar but the mounts on the ends are closer in. the end mounts can be removed and replaced with chevy.isn't hard to get chevy end fabbed.msgross has pics of differances.he has made this mod.If you check my post junkies attic you will see a pic of black dodge buddy buckets.I personally like the dodge seats better.

Jamie, here's a Dodge set. The top of the center seat is more square than a Chevy also. No frame brace under center seat. Holes will not mount to Chevy floor. Have to man. brackets for the end of the frame to get them to bolt-up.

thanks dan.. so the bolt holes won`t line up in a chevy floorpan right???

No, you'll need to manufacture a bracket for each end to get them to fit. Once you do that, they fit and look great.
