Stock C30 Bucket Seats: Worth getting?

[TIMSPEED]

I have a chance right now, to go over and get these seats out of a mid 70's C30. They look EXACTLY like the ones BigBlock73 scored a few weeks back. Are they worth getting?

it really depends.
1: are they in better condition than your bench seat.
2: if not are you going to get them re-done.
3: how badly do you really need them
4: are the the right price (FREE)

i am planning on getting some buckets. only because i want to make a larger center to house my subs

1.) No
2.) Possibly
3.) Don't need/want them for myself, just wanna get them and make money off of them, in order to get a nice set of Corbeau's.
4.) Scott Free!

Do It

Is the C30 a crew cab or regular cab?

They will be worth more if it is a regular cab because they will then be a bolt in for any 73-87 regular cab pickup...as long as they have the most important part(s), the brackets and floor tabs.

It's a Regular cab. I don't think I can get the floor tabs, because I don't have a portable grinder...

What about a sawzall to cut out the floor section. Or if you are real brutal, use a hammer and screwdriver to punch a hole in the floor and use tin snips or a jab saw that uses a hack saw blade to cut out the floor section.

Sometimes you just have to pretend you are a hillbilly.

[bigblock73]

Tim, you NEED to get the floor tabs. Borrow a generator and a sawzall/disc grinder...or like previously mentioned, cut them out with snips.

Tow it where you can have power then put it back. or like above said be a hillbilly.LOL
If you do get them out what are you looking in price wise.

[TIMSPEED]

If I hit the floor tabs hard enough with a hammer, will they come off? The truck is WAAY out in a field, absolutely no way to get power to it.

You just need to borrow the righ tool for the job.....

Sheesh yeah! A cordless Sawzall would be nice to have in any occassion! I'm thinking of taking my cordless screwdriver with a cut-off wheel on it, and seeing if I can't get it with that...

I doubt it, and even if that did work, you will mangle the tabs...they aren't that sturdy.
