Rod · 09-26-2004, 03:09 AM

They pop up here and ebay once in a while...ebay they have been selling for about $350 for ones in decent shape..

mtpleasent · 09-26-2004, 03:11 AM

saw lots of covers no complete seats

Rod · 09-26-2004, 03:28 AM

Oh.. well these ones sold about 10 days ago on ebay for $305.

They do come up once in a while... quite popular now.

Just keep checking and asking and you'll get a set probably.

Rod · 09-26-2004, 03:51 AM

This seller wanted $800 but didnt get it... it ended yesterday...maybe he will relist it.

On the seats that sold for $305(the Fawn colored ones) it appeared that the driver's seat folded forward. Was this available? All the other ones I have seen were fixed backs. Have you seen others that fold or were these broken?

Thanks - Bob

i will keep looking

Longhorn Man · 09-26-2004, 06:15 AM

I think the 67 seats were fixed, and the 68 flipped, and the 69 - 72 were fixed again.

Rod · 09-27-2004, 11:10 PM

I havent looked in a while but they were fixed as far as I can remember... could be like the regular seat that you undid a nut/bolt and it would flip forward like the full size seat. If I remeber when I see the buckets Ill try to remember to look for that.

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 09-28-2004, 08:56 AM

I have a set of 67 that fold up and another set that does not fold up.

Rod · 09-28-2004, 10:39 AM

Hmmm..I'll look for that bit of info Gary 70- Jimmy. That may be another way to tell the years apart besides scroll pattern of original seat covers.

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 09-28-2004, 11:16 AM

my 2 sets of bucket seats came out of a 67

biglou55 · 09-28-2004, 11:30 AM

A friend of mine offered me a set of those sat. while i was at his place for a $100. dollars for my 68. now that i see the price of them he will now have a sale. they are in the same condition as the ones 69cst just bought. now does anybody know who sells new covers and foam for them thank,s big lou

mirks68stepside · 09-28-2004, 04:54 PM

Tim Christian sells them also

HOTFUN · 10-03-2004, 09:52 PM

Mine is a 67 GMC buddy seat and the drivers side also folds forward. I saw in one of the 67 sales brochures that one bucket seat flips forward. Surprised that they would do the drivers when the jack is on the passenger side and it is a fixed seat.

My question is does anyone repo the 100% correct upholstery for the 67 buddy seat or is it all 68 style ribbing???
