I did see a set of dodge buddy seats for sale on ebay, was wondering if it'd work. Your seat looks really good!

Is this the ad you were referring to? These do look nice, but I was trying to find the set withe the "buddy" fold down seat in the middle.

**Grumpy old man** · 11-05-2015, 08:43 PM

Those aren't buddy buckets Buddies came in 67-68 trucks as a dealer installed option ,They were also made for Dodge trucks but the seat mounting frames are different and the foam and seat upholstery are different .

**tmontg01** · 11-05-2015, 08:54 PM

I didn't think they were, sounds like it's going to be a pain to find a set.

**68bowtie** · 11-05-2015, 08:56 PM

they are out there but you have to be patient, persistent, and keep some cash in hand.

sierragrande71 · 11-05-2015, 10:54 PM

I know it's not a very good picture, but you get the idea. I traded a tan upholstered bench seat straight across for the buddy buckets you see my kids sitting. The best part is that they are also upholstered. The deals are out there.

**tmontg01** · 11-05-2015, 11:02 PM

Yep definitely want the buddy seats for sure. I'll have to keep my eyes open, hopefully I can snag one before I get back home in April.

Buddy buckets were a factory installed option, not a dealer installed option. I am sure a dealer could have installed them, but they were a factory option. They were standard in 1967 when the CST package was ordered and optional in 1968.

If the prices keep rising on them I may have to yank the ones in my ton truck and part with them since it may not be running anytime soon.

**SoCoC10** · 11-05-2015, 11:23 PM

Here's a set for sale. Not mine. https://denver.craigslist.org/pts/5267582930.html

**jerry moss** · 11-06-2015, 12:02 AM

the dodge version is usually easier to find and cheaper too. i just saw a dodge 4x4 in pick-n-pull yesterday that HAD them, someone swapped out the buckets for some ricer seats but the center seat WAS still there-it's in my storage now. i've modified the dodge frames in the past to fit in chevy/gmc's, i used to have a jig set up to do the mods but it's long gone now. watch for mid/late 70s dodges, especially ones with the adventurer package.

midniteblues · 11-06-2015, 08:17 AM

If I'm not mistaking some internationals had them too the frames were even more differnt than dodge. And requires more modification. But the seats and console are still the same with differnt upolstery.

They look great. Did you use pre made covers or totally custom. I am in the same boat with the dodge one's. I was considering using truckseats.
