Craigslist score!!!
Well I couldn't believe it when a found a pair of 71-72 truck bucket seats on Craigslist. The post said "pair of 60's buckets seats for a Chevy or Ford possible Blazer or Bronco. From the picture attached they looked to be Chevy trucks. So made plans to take a 250 mile road trip yesterday, since the wife and I had the day off. I'm not going to tell you all what a good deal I got because I feel guilty about how little I had to pay to get them. It was well worth the $75 dollars I had to put in the gas tank!!! They are not the right color for my truck but I may sell the red covers if anyone is interested. The passenger cover has two small cuts, one in the back and one in the side but are very small. I need black covers. I'll let you all know if I decide to sell them.

Re: Craigslist score!!!
WOW, very nice. I'm not sure about the back covers... does that mean they are from a Blazer?

Re: Craigslist score!!!
Those look good. Buckets were from a blazer or burb because of the back covers but they have the correct truck bracket on the passenger seat now.
Worth at least 7-800 even with the ripped covers!

Re: Craigslist score!!!
Nice! They're probably truck buckets that had repro Blazer backs put on when recovered.

Re: Craigslist score!!!
You're right. All bucket seats were vinyl with scroll,even cheyenne super. those are definitely aftermarket covers.

Re: Craigslist score!!!
the seats look nice .I believe from the pics what you have are 75/77 blazer buckets with 71/72 covers.the drivers mount looks to be the taller style mount and the lower shirt is 1 1/2" shorter in the rear than 71/72.73/74 has the same upper bun as 71/72 but the 75/77 goes straight up on the sides.looking at how the upper covers fit is why I say they are 75/77.69/72 are straight from the front to the back on the lower skirts.73/77 lowbacks run straight back for about 5" then taper upward to the back.the passenger mount looks correct factory or aftermarket 69/72 truck.
