Who sells 67/68 Buddy Bucket seat covers?
Who sells 67/68 Buddy Bucket seat covers? If you have installed them. How do they fit? I have seen some of the custom covers a couple of the guys here have done, but I don't want to shell out that kind of $$$.
Thanks, Jay |

We do. I have not installed a set yet, but will be in a couple months when our customers truck is ready for them. Fit on everything else we have used from PUI has fit fine.

Re: Who sells 67/68 Buddy Bucket seat covers?
Also, I'm missing the buddy seat bottom. It looks like it's made from 1/2" plywood with 2 or 3 inch foam. Would one of you be willing to measure yours for me? Width,length, and approx. height.
Thanks, Jay |

Re: Who sells 67/68 Buddy Bucket seat covers?
I have visions of Highlander green or orange, but the one set of buddy buckets I had were so uncomfortable to sit in I'd rather get a nice set of buckets and put a retro themed cover on them. I am old so disreguard the BB comment if you can still move around without backpain!

I want to use black, but I'm starting to worry about Black vinyl in the Vegas heat. Anyone making these covers in cloth?

Re: Who sells 67/68 Buddy Bucket seat covers?
The problem is all the vendors that sell 67-68 bucket seat covers only recognize the 67 style for both years. 68 had a different style with pleated centers in a darker color usually that matched the body color of the truck. I ended up having a local upholstery shop do my 68 as close as possible to factory the only difference was the pleats were stitched rather than heat seam stitched, you can check it at [url]http://rides.com/photo/11455266710337986tWuZDe.
