Re: bucket seats and consoles
I am putting a set of buckets out of a 98 Suburban in my 68 Chevy truck. I am cutting the pedastals down about 2.5" and then rewelding them to get the ride height correct. I am going to build a console out of aluminum and cover the sides with the same material as the rest of the interior. The top will be out of 1/4" aluminum and covered in carbon fiber material. The shifter will be in the console with the radio and ignition components. All of which will be in a compartment in front of the shifter.

Re: bucket seats and consoles
2006 Chevy Cobalt buckets.
Easy to install, almost to easy, lots of adjustment, easy mount, low enough that a six foot plus guy has a little more head and leg room. no pictures yet, the colunm and gauges are still out... Mick |

Re: bucket seats and consoles
i like the seats and consoles from the 67-72 era, but finding them in decent shape is getting hard to do. thats why i am leaning toward the late models

Re: bucket seats and consoles
I have those red buckets like Spray Bomb used,from a low mile`89 Blazer.(& back seat)
I also have a pair of vinyl low-backs from my`92 K3500 that will work nicely. Then there`s the utility buckets I have in the parts board.With the headrests pulled out the`92 low-backs have a simular look to the utilities.

Re: bucket seats and consoles
This is what I'm planning for my '69 except my buddy buckets will be black and white houndstooth. I'll have the capacity for 3 passengers (so I can take both of my kids) and it still feels like a bucket. The storage and fold down armrest are nice when no one is in the middle also.

Re: bucket seats and consoles
i found a seat out of a 60s thunderbird, it has a bench bottom with bucket backs and a fold down arm rest. the reason i like this seat is that the back of the seat looks alot like the buckets out of our trucks, that and they fold forward.

WOW, those are some nice refinished seats! I put after market seats in mine but, haven't been real happy with them, too big. I have buckets out of a 67 in the garage just need to be reupholstered.

Re: bucket seats and consoles
I have a line on a set of buckets from a Silverado which have the belt integrated into the seat. I read an article in a Custom Classic Trucks mag a few years back that had several late model seats that practically bolt up in a 67-72

Re: bucket seats and consoles
Has anyone bought seats from this site? http://www.discountvantruck.com/truc...truckseats.htm They come with adapter brackets to bolt right into our trucks.
I like the original buddy bucket seats, but finding an original seat seems difficult. The reupholstered one I found on Ebay was going for $1050. Ebay is where I found this dealer. I was just wondering if anyone has purchsed one of these aftermarket seats, and I'd love to see one in our trucks. Thanks, Dan
