I wanted the seats to fit bellow the window line and have good side bolsters as well. Ill have to build a center seat and brackets but steel is cheap and I enjoy tinkering with metal anyways.

these would be below window line and have side support

I just traded a rear view mirror and some brake calipers for the ones I have. I think they look real nice for less than 50 in trade.

Well I just bought a set of BUDDY BUCKETS! I can not believe how hard these are to find in a price range I can afford. I haven't seen them yet. I guess the passenger side vinyl is pretty tore up but im told the seat foam is in good shape. I found a set and was such a good deal that I pulled the trigger site unseen. Im supposed to be getting a pic message any min and then ill drive to pick them up on Tuesday. If they are too far gone I may put them up for sale, but if not id sure like to keep them.

post pics of the new seats when you get a chance.

To bad you don't live closer, I'd probably pick up those other seats and help offset the costs on those buddy buckets.

Here are the pics of my new buddy buckets. They are in way better shape and way more complete than I expected. Especially for what I paid for them.

[ksshane]

Nice find. Congrats.

What did you end up paying for them if you don't mind me asking

Awesome build I will be following for sure. Long story short I bought a set of doors for $20 then traded a guy my doors and $100 for my buddy seats. That was a pretty good day

That sounds like a sweet deal!

Cool truck! I'll hang out for the build.

[mcbassin]

Very nice project. I'm gonna follow along too.

[Homebuilt Hotrods]

I got a new to me fender mocked up, a new to me front bumper and rear sport bumper. And seats mocked up.

[Homebuilt Hotrods]

looks like i wont meet my deadline, decided against a big get together for the 5 yr, but we should be able to drive it around the block within the month!

Nice start!

[Homebuilt Hotrods]

Picked up a very nice new repop core support from gmc pauls. Very nice fit and way easier then repairing the old. And more mock up.

Tried my hand at my first sheet metal repair. I replaced a rotted out section of my steel bed floor with an original piece I got from a board member a while back. Man you guys and youtube/tv makes it look a lot easier than it is sometimes. I must just need practice... My gap on one side got a little wide unfortunately. Im surprised that it does look ok though.

Nice build

GOT THE TRUCK BACK! hasn't been touched in 2 years since i sold it. Cant wait to get it going again.

[knomadd]

Nice to see you got it back. I had no idea you sold it actually, but still glad to see you didn't give up on it.

[swamp rat]

There's a story there somewhere, welcome back.

[Homebuilt Hotrods]

finally got the shop cleared out and this rolled in. Hope to get to work real soon.
Glad to be back!
