Finally I installed my buddy buckets
Ok I am looking for your guys opinion. I bought this buddy bucket seat for $150 with the small cab brace and paid an additional $300 to have a local guy recover them. Do you like the color choice and do you think I got a good deal?
Here is a before with the regular broken down bench seat. And here is after with the buddies installed.

Re: Finally I installed my buddy buckets
That's what I'm told. The guy I bought them from didn't know what he had. He has a 67 cst camper special for sale. Should go back and buy more parts from him.

Re: Finally I installed my buddy buckets
I think they look perfect.
You had done exactly what I want done. I have a set stock in my truck. Foam is good in both seats but top of console is torn and has uv exposure so not doing so well. What I like is that they are NOT all vinyl. Vinyl gives you a sweaty back and butt. I love the fabric choice too. As a matter of fact I will likely print your pic as an example to give to whomever I have recover mine.... If I don't do it myself. If I could get it done for $300 I would definitely pay to have it done. Again, I think they are perfect! |

Re: Finally I installed my buddy buckets
The best part is that he is a "good ole boy", sells stuff cheap. Said he would sell the whole truck for $1200. What I want is the factory seat belts that he has.

Re: Finally I installed my buddy buckets
Man, those are terrific for the price. You saved enough money to get a carpet kit for the tank, and then you'll be set.

Re: Finally I installed my buddy buckets
Pretty much the whole truck!! I even traded him an old junky bench seat as part of the deal so that the truck would have some kind of seat for it. Plus he is in Stockton. I have his number still...

Re: Finally I installed my buddy buckets
Looks great!!!
I ALWAYS tell people to take their seats to a local upholstery shop. Look at what you get for the price....Spending $500 plus for new foam from a vendor, and $300 plus for the seatcovers is outrageous, and that is not even including installation! I got my buddy buckets done for just under $500, with new foam, and new houndstooth inserts from my local upholstery shop and I coudn't be happier.

Re: Finally I installed my buddy buckets
