There is actually 3 different sets of 67-72 bucket seat types. There is the normal bucket seat w/the seat belt console that was found in 69-72 trucks and blazers in CST and higher end trucks. There are some differences in the foam on these that tell of them being a 69-70, versus the 71-72 bucket. Also, there was the Buddy Buckets in 67-68 which are two plainer looking bucket seats with a center seat/console "Thus the Buddy buckets name. Lastly, there is Utility buckets that were found in the more basic work trucks. Mostly in Blazers and Panels. Hope this helps Trevor

Question about you're gas pedal? Is that a 72 pedal? and did you have to change out the linkage? Seems to me that it would add a bit of leg room?

I could be totally off, that is why i asked

[Select]

I have no idea about my pedal being a 72 or not. I just bought a 72 today so I'll have to go out tomorrow to compare them. It'll be later in the day due to me having to go to my annual continuing education class tomorrow morning. If I forget, PM me and I'll get right on it.....Michael

Make that 4 different types.
Buddy Buckets
Truck Buckets
Utility Buckets
Camper Buckets

You forgot the Camper Special Buckets found in 1-ton Campers with the walk through cab pictured here. So far I have 2 sets from a 67 and a 68 but there may be other years out there.

[Huck]

Holy crap batman, is there no end to the number and kinds of buckets we might have!!

[Husker]

Are they the same seat just different ways to mount?

not really, the camper buckets are aftermarket that the conversion companies installed, look in the glovebox on the spid sheet if ther facory equipped buckets they'll say code a50? buckets seats.

i had a 70 C/30 motorhome with factory truck buckets.

and i'll catch it before special K does... there is no camper special

I have what I believe to be a pair of "Buddy Buckets" in a truck I recently purchased. The drivers seat back folds forward as does the center seat back. The passenger seat back does not fold forward. Is this correct for this seat model or could mine possibly be broken?

[leddzepp]

Pull on it really hard, it might fold forward. I have a set where only one folds as well. They can all be modified to fold forward however.
