Bucket Seats

Im looking for a set of buckets for my 78. I know they made them and it was a rear option. My question is if I find a set for sale how much should I expect to pay for the seats and console? Thanks

Re: Bucket Seats

Hi and welcome
The buckets are hard to find here
If you want the right ones ( year wise) it can get pricy
I used some from my 89 Burb in my 78 Jimmy( diff bases)
Pretty much bolted in, lots custom fit other years,
If your staying stockish grab a Burb set till you find what you want.
Could even redo a newer set, retro

Re: Bucket Seats

If your talking about factory buckets, I found some here on this board and by the time you find a set, have them shipped, have them recovered, and installed you will be out $1000-$1200. You can really get a decent set of aftermarket bucket for that.
