Buddy bucket slider question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

One of my seat adjusting slides is missing a roller (LH outside)
1. How do I take it apart (I can make a roller)
2. Does someone make a rebuild kit.
3. If the above two don,t work where can I get a replacement.

Thanks for the help

Honestly the original sliders arent that great. Any universal slider will work and you can find them everywhere (speedway or Ebay). So your not dealing with 45 year old sliders. This is exactly what i did and they are cheaper than the outrageous price some people are getting for the originals.

One of my rollers came out because the slider was loose. I was able to get it back in and then I crimped the slider by using a large vise which tightened the slider. You may be able to do the same thing after you make a roller for yours.
