Buddy bucket missing buddy - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ilike 72"s · 01-31-2008, 01:07 PM

I just picked up a set of 1968 buddy buckets without the center seat. One of the other threads said they thought the center seat is the same as the Dodge pickup seats. I have access to a set of dodge seats, and would use the center if it's the same. Anybody know for sure?? Dennis

I am not sure if they are the same but there is one on ebay right now.

My guess is that it will go for about 100.00

It looks like the same metal box to me.

Looks alot like it. Give it a try. If it fits, no one will notice anyway.

There was one on e-bay just the other day, may still be there

it will work fine, once it's upholstered no-one will know the difference. both seats are made by Bostrom.

Thanks Jerry. I don't have the origional seat to look at,and I haven't looked close at the dodge seat. Wouldn't know what to look for anyway. If their both made by Bostrom, good chance their the same. Dennis

If that Dodge doesn't work out for you...let me know. I have a real nice GM center seat that I will sell.

It by chance wouldn't be green would it?

I used a dodge one on mine. When I had it reupholstered, you couldn't tell the difference. 1st before, 2nd after.

WOW! That looks great with the black and houndstooth inserts!

OK...who got the buddy bucket off ebay? $77 seems like a great price for a missing seat.
