happy easter egg

[rpatowers]

OK. I've been looking at this posting for some time and now I'm interested.

Some questions/assumptions:

1. You state that the foam is in good shape, so I'm going to assume that I won't need to replace it before covering the seats.

2. Is the driver's seat the only seat that can slide forward and backward?

3. Can you post a picture of the seats with the back rest of the middle seat folded down (so that I can see what the "arm rest" looks like) and the middle seat folded out (so I can see the compartment underneath it)?

4. I live in Hayward, CA. Would you consider meeting me somewhere between Paradise and Hayward for me to pickup the seats, e.g., Sacramento?

I am interested in your seats so please don't think I'm jerking you around when asking for more pictures. I need to talk to a "local expert" to get his opinion on how well the seats will work for me. I will try to get ahold of him tomorrow and then I will get back to you and we can discuss this further. Then you can post the pictures if you decide you want to do so.

Thanks!

Roy, the foam does not need to be replaced its in good shape. the drivers seat does slide foward and backwards and I am including a new stainless steel lever for that purpose. I have no problem meeting you half way. thanks Rick

Rick, the reason I want to go with bucket seats, after driving my truck over the last 40 years with a bench seat, is that I am disabled with severe back problems and two replaced hips. I am a big guy (270 lbs, 6' 3"). My bench seat doesn't give me enough support and I'm not confortable in it any more. I'm looking for something that is well-padded and has a little support on the sides.

I talked to Bill at Vintage Chevy in a Fremont, CA, who has a large shop that only deals in 67-72 Chevy trucks and parts. Unfortunately, he doesn't think buddy buckets will work for me. He says that I may need some kind of custom seat to fit my needs.

So .. I'm going to have to pass. I'm disappointed - I've been looking for awhile and I thought I'd found my new seats when I saw yours. Sorry if I put you through any inconvenience. Your seats would have looked good in my truck (after installing new covers) and you are offering them at a real good price. I'm sure they wold work great for a person who has less extreme needs. Good luck in selling them.

Best,

Roy

Roy, the trucks I have been in with buddy buckets seem to have abit more room and are more comfortable. I would find a board member in the bay area and see if they will work for you?

That's a really good idea. Buying a seat without first sitting in one like it makes me very nervous. I'm going to make a post and see if anyone in the Bay area has buddy buckets and regular buckets that I can sit in. There's a lot of money at stake and I don't want to buy seats twice.

Thanks!
