THis looks like a nice truck done right except is it just me or do the front buckets have the wrong upholstery on them, for some reason they just don't look right to me.

Yeah, in the ad it says factory STYLE buckets. They aren't originals although it looks like they have nice vinyl or leather on them and look similar. Nice truck for sure (or appears to be in the pictures

)

Yes I know it has the wrong trans motor etc.and the box has a spray in boxliner too but the ad says "Factory Style Buckets" and to me that would mean stock buckets which I guess they are not.

It's a very nice truck.

Are you sure those aren't original buckets? The foam looks correct, but it looks like the covers were custom made. It appears they have the rounded buldged foam for the top, but the covers aren't made to recess towards the top between the foam. It might just be me, but they do look close, if not the real deal.

Very nice truck. When I finish my hotrod 68' I hope to find a clean truck with original styling. Doesn't have to be 100% correct just clean like this one.

Those are correct 69/72 cst buckets with upolstery shop covers.If you look at the bottom edge of the skirt it runs flat and level from front to rear . If they where 73 up they would run flat for about 5" then taper up about 11/2" by the time you get to the rear of the skirt.
