I like the bench to! Mine is out of a 89 Chevy truck. 60-40. Very nice seat for a factory and it looks good still today after being in the truck since 1990. This was my work truck for a very long time and now it's just my truck to drive when I want to.

Re: buddys ,utiliys or bench seats
I restored a set of buddy buckets for my 71 K20 and they looked great in the truck. But I really missed having a bench seat, so I sold the buckets and tossed a bench back in there.

Re: buddys ,utiliys or bench seats
6' 1" 205 and I like the buckets in my 71. I need the center console to store all my stuff in. Buddy buckets look awesome in the older trucks!

Re: buddys ,utiliys or bench seats
I'm torn on this one. I love the Buddy buckets for a custom sport truck theme, but a bench seat is what makes a truck, well, a truck.
