Just a bucket list...don't mock me. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was doing some cleaning up of the interior of my 73 Sierra G in hopes of finding the Buildsheet. Looked under the seat, behind it, between cab and bed, poked under the carpet and even behind the cardboard tray behind the seat; No luck.

So I decided to mock up the buckets and console just for kicks. They need seatcovers and the console restored. I had purchased them on a whim from the CL. They were out of a 76 pick-up. Initially planned to resell them before I even had this truck but I think I'll keep them.

They're even the right color or....were at one time. I know low back buckets were only continued to about 1977 and not often seen, so I figured it would be a nice future upgrade. Another to-do. The original bench is still pretty nice and still has lots of life in her.

Looks great with them in there! I've been trying to find a set in any shape for a while now, but no luck yet. Found my build sheet though

that mock up looks great... I would do that to mine if i hadnt spent $300 to have my bench seat done over. it brings a whole new look to the interior

Thanks, was your build sheet in another spot I didn't mention? This is a Fremont Plant truck.

Thanks; I agree that Factory buckets/console bring a totally different look. Just pure luck I found them and held onto them. Glad I did, though it will be a bit before I make this change permanent.

No, it was underneath the bench seat. Truck is a 76 and was built at the Fremont Plant as well.
