I have no idea what a buttrocker is, but it sounds like one of those sayings you make up when you're in 7th grade. I think it was "Cambodian bootie-scratcher" when I was that age.

Either way, the thought of someone running down the street screaming "buttrocker!....BUTTROCKER!!! is making me laugh like an idiot here at work.

the bench seat just looks "right" in my truck... bucket seats just don't belong!

bigblock79 · 09-15-2007, 07:22 PM

i got a set of 77 low back that is true truck buckets.

i am putting in my 79 daly driver.

i even got the metal bracket that holds them to the floor

Restrorob · 09-15-2007, 08:22 PM

I'm going buckets in mine, It's not going to be a d/d and have no kids and my sweetie can sit on my lap when we return home....

bb1979 · 09-17-2007, 08:50 AM

I vote bench only cos when I go out in town and don't drink its fun to give 3 drunk friends a lift home, usually one guy and 2 chicks

Don't worry they all have seatbelts, the b & m shift only adds to the fun

loader820 · 09-17-2007, 10:06 AM

does the mount on the seat sats into the one on the floor

Duro5341 · 09-17-2007, 10:09 AM

Stock is sexy, and ment to be.......we didn't buy these old trucks to be pampered, and comfy. We baught them because the work everytime, reliable, and we like them.

If I wanted to be comfy, and pampered I would have baught an 81-87 suburban

Buckets were available "stock" from GM in pickup trucks thru 1981.

Everyone buys a truck for different reasons...if we all used our trucks as "trucks" or cars as "cars", the world would be a pretty boring place.

Mickey_D · 09-17-2007, 12:11 PM

Mine has the original bench. Ain't nothin' gonna' change about it either.

Mainly because there's not enough left of the floor pan to mount buckets to and I'm too cheap to buy anything else that would allow all three of us to get in it.

boatpuller · 09-17-2007, 12:19 PM

always kinda wanted buckets................but i stick a grandkid in the middle once in awhile when the old lady comes along.so,its handy.a tuck and roll bench is old school *****in.

loader820 · 10-07-2007, 06:22 PM

If you look closer to the pics you see that i used three original mountingholes from the benchseat to bolt the console in place and drilled one new (front/inner).The seats are bolted to the console with their original mount in front and one bracket welded to each side.They are fully functional and the adjustability is great for huge guys like me and little girls like my better half!

87rado · 10-12-2007, 07:50 PM

Since it is normally just me riding and sometimes the LOML, I like the buckets. I plan on making a console for mine using Q/S white oak on the sides. Unsure of the design yet. I'll need to include arm rest, cup holders, radio, and some gauges.
I want to pull the carpet and put a mat in instead.

I'm wanting to know more about these also. My bench is torn up and needs a complete redo, for a little more I can get a 40-20-40 bucket bench, armrest seat that bolts in. I don't know which one I want. David

cochino12 · 10-12-2007, 08:21 PM

I pulled them from an 06 f150 they are pretty comfortable

ibad57 · 10-12-2007, 08:48 PM

I had 97 60 -40 with councel and full power opps and would love to find a set in green for my new extended project did they come in green and does anyone have picks

ibad57 · 10-12-2007, 08:54 PM

need green 60-40 and rear seats from like 97 extended cab so seat folds forward

**Palf70Step** · 10-12-2007, 09:39 PM

Depends on the bench seat. I don't care much for the 87 and older benches. They are too uncomfortable too me. No support. The 88-98 years have some really nice bench seats that work real well in the older models. Like was mentioned by others, I do love the comfort of real buckets, but like the convenience of the bench.

**old Rusty C10** · 10-12-2007, 10:30 PM

i like the 60/40 bench seats and i really like the ones outta the F150 that cochino has but as others have said i love to be able to cuddle with the little lady and ya need a bench seat for that

MylilBowTie · 10-13-2007, 12:06 AM

I like the older ones in good shape. Seems like the few 88 and up I have been in are pretty stiff.
