Buddy Bucket Questions. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'am really considering buying a buddy bucket seat but my question is, do you have to remove the fuel tank from out of the cab for clearance? Do you have to drill new holes for mounting the seat in place? What is the clearance from the floor to the bottom of the seat i know there all differant but is there anyway you can make mount or something so the seat sets higher up? if you guys have the answers it'd be greatly appreciated thanks Hunter!

They bolt into any 67-72 truck, using the outer bolt holes on the floor. You do not need to remove the fuel tank from the cab

If you want the seats to sit higher up, just shim it with some washers.

If it needs new covers, you could add some foam to get extra height.

Since the gas tank will be visible, you might want to get a carpet kit to cover it.
