Seat Brackets ( buddy bucket bench) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bcanini · 09-29-2006, 10:21 AM

Hey everyone new guy to the board here, there are some nice trucks here!
I'll get some pics of mine on today sometime.

I have a question... I've a buddy bucket setup thats been redone that came w/ the truck (unnassembled) there isn't any bracketry to mount the seats to the frame and I want to put this cool seat in my truck!
So.. do any of you that have these or had, have the brackets lying around the you would want to sell??, or is there a place I can purchase new stuff?? can I use the brackets from my bench thats there?
Secondly.. does anyone have a good closeup pic of how this stuff is assembled? and what the brackets look like?
Thanks in advance for all responses

Are they the stock buddy bucket seat setup? Or something else? The stock ones mounted to a large frame that fit all 3 seats.

I dont know what a buddy bucket bench looks like or what brackets you need, but i have an extra set of frame to seat sub frame brackets for a smittybuilt bucket seat set up. I was sold an extra set inexpensive and would be willing to pass them on for what I paid if they will work. I will try to take pics over the weekend if you are interested.

ta the stock buckets w/ the fold down center seat to make it a beanch if needed. theres a picture of one for sale in the classified section. That's the exact same one that I currently own. Thanks for the replies.

Not to rain on your parade but I have seen those seats listed for ungodly amounts over the years.I would imagine you might find them but they will probably be pricey.
Anyway here's a TTT

I have mine apart while I working on my truck I'll take some pics and post them tomarrow when I can see what I am doing. I think one could make some for the pass. side the center part just clamps to the frame, The drivers has a flat slider bolted the the bottom of the seat and to the frame with no sort of braket. Really you could just bolt them to the frame. The brakets on the pass side is only 3/4" tall. The drivers side I think you could buy a slider kit for a racing seat.

I'll get some pics up so you can see what I am talking about.

Here are the pics.

Thanks!!! I really appreciate that, That's pretty much what I needed to see!
I've bee toying w/ the idea of hard mounting both seats (not like there's much adjustment in it) I think I might check out some Junkyards and see if I might get lucky! Thanks everyone for your replies I appreciate it.
