67-68 bucket seats - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Zeus · 12-30-2002, 03:18 PM

Does anyone have a picture of the bottom and back of the middle jumper seat? I am trying to fabricate a center arm rest as my set up does not have one. Any and all help will be appreciated.

if yours doesn't have the armrest portion, only the bottom cushion then it probably is out of a suburban and is actually a pretty rare piece. i've owned at least 20 sets of 67-8 buckets and looked at a bunch more and only ever seen 2 sets out of a burb. maybe someone on here has a set out of a truck that they want to install in a burb and you could work out a trade, just an idea.

one other thing, check your local salvage yards, dodge used seat in their adventurer package that was built by the same company that built ours and their center section will bolt right on to your frame. they are a lot cheaper too, nobody rebuilds old p.o.s. dodges.

here's the back of a 67/68 CST bucket seat.
I have a few other pics I can email you. But none of the bottom/floor side of the seats.

Thank you 71 chev. Can you email me the other pictures so that i can try to fabricate the part that allows the armrest to be connected to the 67-68 frame? How does it allow for the rotation of the backrest/armrest? Is there a locking mechanism in the backrest/armrest that keeps it from falling forward?

Mr. Jerry Moss, the set-up I have is probably from chevy because I took off the old covers and they are the typical double pleated stitched style?? What type of covers do the dodges have? Is there a way to tell if it is a chevy or a dodge seat.

I might be able to do a trade with yah.... got a pic you can email me of what you got? I have the correct center section for truck seat.

The trays between sub and truck buckets are different wont interchange... you'd have to swap it for correct one...also the top section that lifts on truck center bucket was help up by a strip of velcro on rear of cab and a strip of matching velco sewed into the seat . Check your mail.

Pic of wide pattern stitching for 67-68

i'm sure your seat is from a chevy but a dodge center section will work. sounds like Rod has what you need and can save you a bunch of work.
if i remember correctly the seats were made by Bostrom for both G.M. and dodge
