Who sells 67/68 Buddy Bucket seat covers? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

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.

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

17 3/4" x 15" x 2 3/4" outside to outside of welting is what mt`68 set (in very nice condition) measures.

$264 plus shipping. I need to what color you want to see (assume tan) and what is in stock.

I am interested too, and what options. I believe they came in vinyl only factory but I would want something else...

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!

Mike,
Sorry about that..... I didnt mean to step on your toes by tossing another vendor into the mix....

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

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.
