Re: buddys ,utiliys or bench seats

For me its the bench all the way since its the only thing I fit comfortably in and I'm 6'2 205 right now and I'm only a junior in hs and still growing so the bench seat is staying

Re: buddys ,utiliys or bench seats

6' 1" 205 and I like the buckets in my 71. I need the center console to store all my stuff in. Buddy buckets look awesome in the older trucks!

Re: buddys ,utiliys or bench seats

I restored a set of buddy buckets for my 71 K20 and they looked great in the truck. But I really missed having a bench seat, so I sold the buckets and tossed a bench back in there.

Re: buddys ,utiliys or bench seats

I'm torn on this one. I love the Buddy buckets for a custom sport truck theme, but a bench seat is what makes a truck, well, a truck.
