1976 w/ Factory Buckets? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

EJC78 · 11-08-2008, 07:23 PM

Hey guys its been a while since I've been around but I have an in on a 1976 Cheyenne It is blue and white two tone paint is rough but no rust. Factory tilt, air, buckets and console still intact although will need to be redone. Only thing I dont like is the simulated wood dash and door panels no offense to anyone with this setup. Short bed fleetside no power windows or locks but thats an easy add on. 350 rebuilt with 15k rebuilt trans with 3k all this for 2,500. Should I jump on it for that price sorry no pics.

without pics its hard to tell... it would have to be dern near perfect for me to pay that kind of money for a truck in this economy

**N2TRUX** · 11-09-2008, 01:48 PM

Well? Did you go back and get pics?

EJC78 · 11-09-2008, 02:52 PM

I'll get some pics today and post later 4 sure.

It's raining factory buckets down here second find in 3 weeks. The other guy got funny about me taking pictures of the truck before I bought it. But I talked him down to 2000. The guy was honest and told me it had 900 in DMV fees this put it out of the affordability range for me. But I found this one no motor or tranny but has p/w p/l a/c tilt factory buckets with console1977 Silverado. This guy wants 1000 OBO. What do you think good buy or pass. Are the seat covers correct material? I thought they only came in vinyl.

It really depends on the rest of the trucks condition. The interior looks pretty clean, so I will assume the truck is too. I would offer 800.00 and see what he says.

Those do appear to be the correct seats, but they have been recovered. They did not offer buckets in cloth that I am aware of, and I am sure that is not original.

They should look like this-

Hey N2 here is the center console your looking for to bad it comes with a whole truck. Is this price outrageous or is this a dealer trying to make some $$$$http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/ctd/946853200.html

EJC78 · 12-12-2008, 10:30 PM

Just noticed these buckets look like 67-72 buckets

**N2TRUX** · 12-13-2008, 01:17 AM

Yeah, it looks like the seats and console came from a 70-72 truck

EJC78 · 06-16-2009, 09:52 PM

Well I bought it for $250 no motor or tranny what do you think?

glock35ipsc · 06-16-2009, 10:52 PM

$250? I'd say that was a great buy!! It's been a while since you last posted, which number was this one that you looked at that had buckets?

**N2TRUX** · 06-16-2009, 11:01 PM

looks like a typical rust free Cali truck. Heck yeah thats a deal.

bigblock73 · 06-17-2009, 08:10 AM

$250?! Damn!!

FYI - unless you go with aftermarket PW/PL, you aren't going to be able to put those features in your '76 doors....not with OEM parts anyways.

tvblazer78 · 06-17-2009, 08:53 AM

You are da man! I have been looking for something like that for a year now.

menace121978 · 06-17-2009, 09:55 AM

right on nice score. that thing looks solid.

manimal · 06-17-2009, 11:06 AM

Very Nice SCORE!, I am looking for buckets and console for my '78.

lucky dog...

Yeah, 250!?!?! DAMN!! I wish I could touch original rustfree metal for anywhere near that price. It's hard to find a good pair of doors or fenders around here for that. Very nice score, it needs some work but trim and drivetrain are the easy stuff.

JohnC · 06-17-2009, 12:34 PM

Yeah man nice score. Can't wait to see what you get done to it.
