Pricing for finished buckets - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Solver · 12-01-2004, 01:30 AM

I see unfinished buckets for sale occasionally on this board but never covered ones.
What should a person ask for
71-72 blazer buckets
I just put new covers on these and added an extra 1" of foam. I am not professional upholsterer but they look pretty good. The extra foam makes them a little fuller but also makes them 10 times more comfortable
I sand blasted the seat tracks and painted them.
Have plastic backs but didn't want to put screw holes in back if they go in pickup (I don't have Blazer)
missing or cutoff seat release lever on back of passenger side rear bracket
still needs wire for driver slide seat release and spring (unless same as bench spring)
anyway what should a person ask for these?

I'll give you 100 bucks.

Just messin, those a re worth at least $110

I'd give my left lugnuts for something like that.

Solver,I am thinking those are worth a lot of money.You might say what you want or need for em.I'm L.H.Man,.... I would go $115 and I will cover the ride.Here is another lol for you.Longhorn you crack me up.

I was laughing so hard at what Andy said I couldn't type "I'm with L.H Man".Ive got a couple of right lugnuts I would give.

I searched the board earlier but never really found any done for sale.
Not looking for offers at this time just an idea on what to ask . At that point it will give me an idea to list in parts board.
I see undone seats go for about $300 on max side
covers are about $250
Backs maybe$30 - $50
and then any foam work and having them covered ? no idea?????
Has anyone had any covered and what did it cost?

Don't want to look out of line but still are nice seats. And alot of work involved.
So other than Andy's left nuts and Kingsolver's right (which would be a full set by the way) whatcha think
Have you ever seen any done for sale ? Never even seen them on ebay to get an idea.

And Andy you behave! LOL

finished go for 400-700 bucks!

You should be able to get a good amount for them especially if you had the matching center console.The downer is that you (almost) never get back what you put into them. I would say $400 or so from what i've seen but it also depends greatly on demand. These things are usually in great demand.

There is a 67-72 truck parts vender in Kansas City that completes seats like yours, and he asks $800/pair, and another $150/restored center console.

Good luck

I sold this set with a nice cupholder console & truck brackets a couple of years ago on ebay for $650.
