Bucket seat I.D. please... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

powell72 · 09-26-2006, 10:48 PM

I got these buckets at a swap meet this past weekend for $60(no help from dirtball egging me on). I think they are 71-72 truck seats but I'm no expert on buckets. They have the scroll around the outside not down the middle and there are no provisions for mounting a back cover. Any help would be appreciated.

Great find!"Truckets" are tough to come across.

jc · 09-27-2006, 11:55 AM

good score
i just scoored the same thing in blue at my swap meet for $20 no console and the passengerside is pretty nice.

powell72 · 09-27-2006, 04:55 PM

Geez, that almost makes me feel like I got ripped off! Especially since my truck is blue. It would be a no-brainer to recover and install these but I just redid my bench in the factory houndstooth last summer so we'll have to see what I decide. Plus I still need to find a console.

boraxman · 09-27-2006, 05:36 PM

Nice prices there guys, you can get 300-350 typically in that conditon.

JC steals parts on a regular basis.Don`t feel bad.

Southedisto · 09-27-2006, 09:37 PM

Same one in my Jimmy.

71-72 truck buckets and even correct brackets...good find.

locab36 · 09-27-2006, 11:04 PM

Don't mean to Hi-Jack this thread but I have the same seats. I am just now installing them in my 69. I thought that the outside mounts would match up to the stock bench holes, they don't. The drivers front one on the hump both holes line up the rear mount doesn't line up. The mounts aren't as wide as the bench brackets. I gotta drill 9 more holes in the floor of the truck

plus the 4 holes for the console

Is this common? A gotta swing by the hardware store and pick up some bolts and fender washers tomorrow.
