well what do you like:

buddy buckets

utility buckets (blazer or 69 72 buckets)

bench seat

Sinister · 07-19-2010, 08:34 PM

I like my bench cause I can sleep on it at rest stops.

Shyguy · 07-19-2010, 08:41 PM

Yep, bench seats are good for sleeping on. I have done it many times.

I don't have any of the seats listed in my two trucks. I have mini van bucket seats, well kind of, I still have to finish bolting them down. They are real comfortable, but kind of look a little out of place.

vectorit · 07-19-2010, 08:43 PM

Bench seat all the way.
Bench seats allow your honey to sit closer, and it makes a good arm rest on long drives. Plus they are more comfortable IMO

marks1972 · 07-19-2010, 09:18 PM

bench seats definatly.
"Marital Activities" and bucket seats dont mix very well

bigguy69 · 07-19-2010, 09:29 PM

i vote for the bench seat. i am 6'5" and 360 lbs it is the most comfortable i have found so far!!

crapy67 · 07-19-2010, 09:30 PM

Bench seat here to

1968CHEVYC10 · 07-19-2010, 10:26 PM

Bench seats have almost 60%! Was blazer buckeys a typo? I've never heard of them.

gixxerpymp · 07-19-2010, 10:36 PM

Bench... Looks better IMO.

Rat Bastid · 07-20-2010, 12:53 AM

bench for the woman snuggled up close on summer evening cruises and very comfy

reds_racing · 07-20-2010, 01:09 AM

Curious as to why you can buy 5 bench seats for the cost of one set of buckets and a console if so many people prefer a bench!!!! Supply and demand I reckon'.

laid_out_70 · 07-20-2010, 03:46 AM

Lippyp · 07-20-2010, 04:54 AM

For me a bench is what makes it quintessentially American and of its age so bench all the way.

GRX · 07-20-2010, 09:26 PM

Bench warmers unite!

**leddzepp** · 07-20-2010, 09:38 PM

Bench all the way. Buddy buckets are cool....unless you are 6'2" and riding in the middle, that middle seat is NOT comfortable.

67chevy1series · 07-21-2010, 12:05 AM

Dads69C10 · 07-21-2010, 12:20 AM

Nothing cooler than a bench in houndstooth

67chevy1series · 07-21-2010, 04:35 AM
