Turkey day update! w/buddy buckets!
Hey guys,
I managed to have enough energy after the big dinners and family time that the new buddies are installed ![]() I also threw on a 66 truck wheel and I'm actually diggin the way the white is working with the seats and overall theme of the truck. I am gonna change the paint scheme just a bit on the wheel still yet.. ![]() Lots of guys were big help when I went on the buddy bucket hunt so I thought I would update some progress.... Anyways, on to the pics I just snapped, sorry for the quality ![]() [IMG] ![]() [IMG] ![]() [IMG] ![]() [IMG] ![]() |

Re: Turkey day update! w/buddy buckets!
Thanks for the info. They are houndstooth right? Also, where did you get the foam for the seats if you don't mind.

houndstooth is correct The foams came from a board vendor (pickemup) made by PUI the wheels are just plasti dipped, can be removed anytime I just decided to mix it up a little, I get bored easy.... Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Turkey day update! w/buddy buckets!
Wow those seats look incredible. I've always been a true fan of the bench seat, but I have never seen the buddy buckets like that. I may have seen them at swap meets, but not recovered and in the truck. There are some here in okc on cl for sale, but we'll just say he is proud of them. Are they rare? I'm guessing by the price the answer to that is yes. Do they slide forward like a regular bench?

Re: Turkey day update! w/buddy buckets!
How long did u have to search before you located those? Wondering if I should pounce on the ones I found. They are unique.

Re: Turkey day update! w/buddy buckets!

Re: Turkey day update! w/buddy buckets!
The upholstery looks like it would clean up fairly decent, but at this stage in my build it's hard to break off that kind of cash for a seat. But it's about two hours away. It's on the okc cl under 1967-68 Chevy C10 Bucket seat - $650 (Newalla). Tell me what u think.
