Exclamation Keep bench seat or Buddy Buckets ?

I know this probably shouldn't be an issue but its driving me crazy.

Here is my scenario.

I have a 68 SWB , with black / White / Grey / interior. The bench seat was re upholstered by the PO and the dash pad as well and has a matching steering wheel that matches everything really well and gives it a nice clean look. Here is what my truck looks like .









Now a few days ago i got some buddy buckets in decent shape really cheap. I installed them on the truck to see how they feel and they feel awesome and look good ( minus the tears / color ).

The problem is this. I dont want to re upholster the buckets now, i might do it in a year or so ( dont drive the truck much , still needs some minor engine fixes ) and if I do put in these buckets in I will change the steering wheel and dash pad to match the color of the bucket ( more than likely black ) .

Here is how the bucket looks.









So the scenarios are

A. Keep the bench seat , everything stays the same, sell the buckets and use the money to buy some Coy C5 or Boss 338

B. Sell the Grey bench seat, Grey dash pad , Grey steering wheel and use that money to buy the seat covers and matching dash pad and steering wheel ?
