Thanks for all the positive replies. I still need to restore the center console and in it all goes!

gangforward · 04-26-2005, 08:27 PM

Do the buckets give you more room than the bench? I'm a big guy, and the bench is darn uncomfortable after awhile. Have avoided buckets, but if they give you more room....

phanatic32212 · 04-27-2005, 05:34 AM

borax, you make me wish I would have beaten you to those seats.

Did you do that yourself or have someone do it for you?

69 Short Fleet · 04-27-2005, 06:06 AM

Wow, looks very nice!

ACES · 04-27-2005, 06:45 AM

WOW, Those buckets look Great.

Swbman · 04-27-2005, 07:24 AM

Nice Job......looks like they are more comfortable now since you dont have plastic sticking you in your caboose.

Joe67 · 04-27-2005, 07:37 AM

Looks good, nice update from the bench for sure

No, had them done. My Moms friend has a shop so I got a decent price.

I did have to take a little ride for the seats in the first place, im 30 miles N. of L.A.

I really dont know. I'll measure later and get back. Im hoping the buckets will be lower as it seems the bench is high.

Not trying to be an A-Hole but I found out the hard way and i Dont know if I would do it again. Yes buckets do look great but they are not very comfy at all. Here are mine after I hade them redone and your right about the cost. Hers a before and after.

boraxman · 04-27-2005, 03:41 PM

Wow looks great..you know my bench seat isnt all that comfy either. I wanted to stay w/ original style seats. For comfort I probably would have done some Tahoe seats.
