Buddy Bucket Console/Center Seat Dimensions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Portmod7 · 11-15-2012, 04:33 PM

Can any of you buddy bucket owners out there take some measurements for me?

I wanted to see if I could get the dimensions of the "box" (length, width, height) including the dimension from the bottom to the centerline of the hinge. Also, the thickness of the material it is made of.

Also the dimensions of the seat and backrest. Same thing; length, width, and height.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hope this helps and not confuses you

If you need additional measurements let me know. Maybe if you can make the photos with a line I can give specific measurements. Nate

Portmod7 · 11-16-2012, 09:38 PM

That's AWESOME Nate, thanks a ton! Could I ask another favor, and get you to measure the seat and back pads? Then I should have everything I need.

Thanks again!

Getting ready to take a Slosh Tub buddy bucket console to the upholstery shop. Any chance anyone can post the thickness of the seat bun and armrest portions as my upholster will do the foam as well. Thanks, Chris
