Buddy Bucket Question

I just got a set of BB's for my 68. The seating upholstery has seen better days, but the backs are nice. What are some quick and cheap fixes some others have done to get through until one can afford the seats redone?

Smile Re: Buddy Bucket Question

the driver side bucket seat in my 77 blazer has one of my old tee shirts and a towel on the bottom-works great.

Re: Buddy Bucket Question

What are buddy buckets? Is that where you have two bucket seats and a third middle bucket seat that folds flat. But looks like a bench when the back rest is up on the middle seat. I have a Ram with buddy buckets and that is how it is with Dodge. Never seen this on a '68 C10

yes-the Dodge one's are almost identical. 67 and 68 had them
a quick fix is duct tape to hold the foam in place and then a tshirt or blanket to cover to sit on

Re: Buddy Bucket Question

Okay, I'll take pictures this weekend after I cut out the 2002 chevy seats the last owner bolted in and install the BB's. Duct tape it will be, lol.
