I wanted the seats to fit bellow the window line and have good side bolsters as well. Ill have to build a center seat and brackets but steel is cheap and I enjoy tinkering with metal anyways.

these would be below window line and have side support

**Homebuilt Hotrods** · 11-06-2013, 09:36 PM

I just traded a rear view mirror and some brake calipers for the ones I have. I think they look real nice for less than 50 in trade.

**Homebuilt Hotrods** · 11-09-2013, 11:24 AM

Well I just bought a set of BUDDY BUCKETS! I can not believe how hard these are to find in a price range I can afford. I haven't seen them yet. I guess the passenger side vinyl is pretty tore up but im told the seat foam is in good shape. I found a set and was such a good deal that I pulled the trigger site unseen. Im supposed to be getting a pic message any min and then ill drive to pick them up on Tuesday. If they are too far gone I may put them up for sale, but if not id sure like to keep them.

ksshane · 11-09-2013, 11:47 AM

post pics of the new seats when you get a chance.

To bad you don't live closer, I'd probably pick up those other seats and help offset the costs on those buddy buckets.

**Homebuilt Hotrods** · 11-09-2013, 12:04 PM

Here are the pics of my new buddy buckets. They are in way better shape and way more complete than I expected. Especially for what I paid for them.

ksshane · 11-09-2013, 12:22 PM

Nice find. Congrats.

What did you end up paying for them if you don't mind me asking

67ctener · 11-09-2013, 12:31 PM

Awesome build I will be following for sure. Long story short I bought a set of doors for $20 then traded a guy my doors and $100 for my buddy seats. That was a pretty good day

That sounds like a sweet deal!

jlsanborn · 11-11-2013, 03:27 PM

Cool truck! I'll hang out for the build.

mcbassin · 11-11-2013, 05:25 PM

Very nice project. I'm gonna follow along too.

**Homebuilt Hotrods** · 12-09-2013, 01:34 AM

I got a new to me fender mocked up, a new to me front bumper and rear sport bumper. And seats mocked up.

**Homebuilt Hotrods** · 02-21-2014, 05:28 AM

looks like i wont meet my deadline, decided against a big get together for the 5 yr, but we should be able to drive it around the block within the month!

cook2199 · 02-24-2014, 11:21 AM

Nice start!

**Homebuilt Hotrods** · 03-18-2014, 12:01 AM

Picked up a very nice new repop core support from gmc pauls. Very nice fit and way easier then repairing the old. And more mock up.

mx289 · 03-18-2014, 05:33 PM

Looking good Josiah.

Tom

**Homebuilt Hotrods** · 03-24-2014, 10:55 PM

Tried my hand at my first sheet metal repair. I replaced a rotted out section of my steel bed floor with an original piece I got from a board member a while back. Man you guys and youtube/tv makes it look a lot easier than it is sometimes. I must just need practice... My gap on one side got a little wide unfortunately. Im surprised that it does look ok though.

Pegman · 03-25-2014, 12:32 AM

Nice build

**Homebuilt Hotrods** · 02-20-2016, 09:49 PM

GOT THE TRUCK BACK! hasn't been touched in 2 years since i sold it. Cant wait to get it going again.

knomadd · 02-20-2016, 10:26 PM

Nice to see you got it back. I had no idea you sold it actually, but still glad to see you didn't give up on it.

swamp rat · 02-21-2016, 02:25 AM

There's a story there somewhere, welcome back.

**Homebuilt Hotrods** · 02-29-2016, 12:47 AM

Glad to be back!
