Craigslist score!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Big Block · 04-23-2011, 04:42 PM

Well I couldn't believe it when a found a pair of 71-72 truck bucket seats on Craigslist. The post said "pair of 60's buckets seats for a Chevy or Ford possible Blazer or Bronco. From the picture attached they looked to be Chevy trucks. So made plans to take a 250 mile road trip yesterday, since the wife and I had the day off. I'm not going to tell you all what a good deal I got because I feel guilty about how little I had to pay to get them. It was well worth the $75 dollars I had to put in the gas tank!!! They are not the right color for my truck but I may sell the red covers if anyone is interested. The passenger cover has two small cuts, one in the back and one in the side but are very small. I need black covers. I'll let you all know if I decide to sell them.

Great find! Congrats!

WOW, very nice. I'm not sure about the back covers... does that mean they are from a Blazer?

Leroy-B1 · 04-23-2011, 06:31 PM

nice!!!!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-23-2011, 08:22 PM

Nice score sure seems to be alot of buckets showing up these days..

71Bowties · 04-23-2011, 08:26 PM

Holy Crap!!

I would have gotten a lottery ticket on the way home from picking those up!!!

VA72C10 · 04-23-2011, 10:47 PM

Those look good. Buckets were from a blazer or burb because of the back covers but they have the correct truck bracket on the passenger seat now.

Worth at least 7-800 even with the ripped covers!

Leviticus · 04-24-2011, 04:24 PM

Score! Now if I cold only find these type of deals on CL

**special-K** · 04-24-2011, 05:20 PM

Nice! They're probably truck buckets that had repro Blazer backs put on when recovered.

I'm thinking the same thing. They have the right truck brackets and after market covers on them. I don't think they made red and black insert in 71-72.

**special-K** · 04-24-2011, 09:43 PM

You're right. All bucket seats were vinyl with scroll,even cheyenne super. those are definitely aftermarket covers.

Somebody call the cops

**70cst** · 04-24-2011, 10:16 PM

You can tell us how much you paid...we won't tel anybody.

*67/72junkie* · 04-24-2011, 10:38 PM

the seats look nice .I believe from the pics what you have are 75/77 blazer buckets with 71/72 covers.the drivers mount looks to be the taller style mount and the lower shirt is 1 1/2" shorter in the rear than 71/72.73/74 has the same upper bun as 71/72 but the 75/77 goes straight up on the sides.looking at how the upper covers fit is why I say they are 75/77.69/72 are straight from the front to the back on the lower skirts.73/77 lowbacks run straight back for about 5" then taper upward to the back.the passenger mount looks correct factory or aftermarket 69/72 truck.

72BlckButy · 04-25-2011, 12:56 PM

Amazing deal... erh... steal that is.

big_al_71 · 04-25-2011, 01:11 PM
