well, only thing you could do better is to weld it on for me! looks great Dennis, thanks...

attention to detail is an understatement... Even the useless holes are in the exact places on the side...

my67chevytruck---Were you going to install two buckets (you would need 4 brackets) by themselves? Or use the long bucket frames?

msgross · 12-04-2008, 10:39 PM

Hart_Rod was doing the individual buddy seats...

Ilike 72"s · 12-04-2008, 10:40 PM

my67chevytruck · 12-04-2008, 10:43 PM

Ilike 72"s · 12-04-2008, 11:06 PM

--bring me a 6 pack of PEPSI and it's yours. it's taking up space in my storage unit so come and get it!!!!

badpeanut · 12-05-2008, 02:07 AM

You wouldn't be willing to ship it, would you (on my dime of course)?

No, but I still need a frame for the front...

i'm sure it would cost more to ship it than it's worth, but if you can find someone going your direction, maybe we can work it out that way.

msgross · 12-12-2008, 02:56 PM

Dennis, got my brackets today and I couldn't be more pleased... They look great and I think are better than factory... Very professional looking...

I'm gonna temp bolt them up and post some pics... I might have taken a slightly shorter set since i'm a tall guy, but we'll see once its all mocked up....

thanks for the time and attention that you put into these... pics to follow

msgross · 12-12-2008, 04:29 PM

Here are the quick mockup pics...

Even my little buddy likes the buddy seats!

Thanks Dennis...

my67chevytruck · 12-12-2008, 09:14 PM

looking good. keep the pics coming..

Musclerodz · 12-13-2008, 04:23 PM

Is there a market for frames? I have been considering making some since I have one apart right now. How much would you guys be willing to pay for a frame?

my67chevytruck · 12-16-2008, 10:51 AM

The brackets look good Mike!

How about a "kit" that would allow two buckets ('67-'68 buddy, '69-'72, or other bucket) to be mounted to the two existing outside bench seat mounting points (any easy way to add buckets to a non-bucket truck)? If the "kit" included short seat track to slide the seats forward and back all the much better. The kit would be worth at least as much as a set of factory '69-'72 bucket seat track. Just an idea...

msgross · 12-16-2008, 03:00 PM

Buddy buckets do mount to the bench seat mounts... or do you mean individual buddy bucket seats themselves?

They do mount in the same holes as a bench.

my67chevytruck · 12-16-2008, 03:39 PM

I believe bad peanut was asking/suggesting a buddy bucket type frame that would accomodate buddy buckets as well as truck/blazer type buckets with sliders for adjustability (would have to work out the console mounting to the frame?), so owners could utilize the already enforced bench hole mounts instead , of two seperate bucket mounts that would require reinforcements.

my67chevytruck states my idea more clearly than I was able to.

This would allow a person to use newer less worn out bucket seats in our trucks but mount them in an original fashion without having to add additional reinforcements to the floor.

msgross · 02-14-2009, 01:13 PM

I think i'm gonna cut an inch out of this set, unless someone wants them and i'll have another set made.

72armyswbtruck · 02-14-2009, 04:06 PM

There could be a market for the frames and as long as the center section was provided. I have mocked up a set before for fabrication. Thought about it very very long and hard. Not enought time or resources on this end.
Price point: $300 for the frame. Maybe?

Here's one if you are still looking, courtesy of Nightmare.
