Buddy Buckets question
I just bought a set of buddy buckets. What keeps the back of the center seat from reclining back till it hits the gas tank?

Re: Buddy Buckets question
Three screws mount it under the lip of the cab. Classicheartbeat (Wes) was having them made at one time, might want to check with him.

Re: Buddy Buckets question
I got lucky in that the '67 CST i bought still had the bracket attached though the bb's were long gone...needed it to replace the missing bracket on my '68 CST that still has the buckets!
See arrow for bracket in the '67 pic below. No bracket on the blue '68. Casey
