buddy bucket question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a buddy bucket set up from a 67 it is light blue with dark blue vinyl complete brackets and the console is in very good shape the foam is solid drivers seat bottom the stiching is breaking on the bottom, just curious as to what these are worth I have heard anywhere from 200 to 650-700. I,ll throw up pics of it later today. I am thinking of selling it.

Pictures would be needed to give a great price. I've been shopping them out lately. Seen torn up ones with surface rust on the bars going for $100-150. Nice ones that are re-covered (new) with regular material (vinyl or cloth) for $200-450 and if it was done up in leather with all new foams, I would think you could sell for $700-800 on the low end. New foams are expensive. It's cheaper to make your own with upholstery glue and 2" or 3" foam from the fabric store and carve it with an electric turkey knife.

Prices are nuts here. I saw a rusted frame with just the remnants of the seats on it for $350 at a swap meet last weekend. You could have gotten it for $300 but nothing less. I saw a recovered set (in very ugly material) sold last spring at a swap meet for $400.

Those are in nice condition. I wouldnt take no less than 250.-300.00$ for them. Good luck with your sell.
