Help ID These bucket seats (again with more pics)?

[joey8383]

SO guy came and bought some parts and spotted an old bench seat I have laying around. Wants to trade my bench for his C10 buckets!!! But when he sent me pics, I can't figure out what this buckets are out of. I posted this once before and guys were asking for pics from bottom. So here they are.
Also a pic of my bench. Should I still trade? I have another clean bench and really don't need two of them. THANKS

Here's my bench. Decent driver quality. Kind of brittle on the vinyl, especially on the top/rear of seat.


Here's his buckets

Certainly not Blazer seats or like any that I have ever seen!

Here's my original posts. People were guessing all kinds of stuff. I just wonder if you guys would trade? Would you run them in a street truck? What are my options? Thanks!

They are still ford utility van seats and it looks like a buddy bucket bottom frame but the 2 bucket seats are from a ford van mid 1970's if I remember correctly .

It looks like someone replaced the original buddy buckets witht the ford seats do you notice the 2 sets of mounting holes and the seat frame sticks out past the edge of the seat in the front , STILL FORD VAN SEATS . It's your truck run whatever seat makes you happy .

for my opinion, i would re-do the bench and run it.
it looks like either the bench or the buckets will need recovered(maybe foam work on buckets?)

im a fan of the bench though. the center console looks kinda funny a bit?

if recovered and done nice, i imagine the buckets could look fair.

Thanks guys.
I have nothing in the bench seat and have a much nicer one I was planning on running so I think I will do the trade.
Grumpy- I wasn't saying you were wrong, some people were saying they were from a Chevy. Just wanted some opinions. I may never run them but I will have them laying around. I may end up reshaping some foam and doing some custom buckets some day. Now go find me some $0.99 C-10 buddy buckets...
Are you saying the frame and console are C10 buddy buckets and only the seats have been swapped? Thanks for the info

The frame and center console are correct buddy buckets...and the most expensive and difficult parts to locate. I too would do the trade and run them as is until I was able to locate the correct seats. The two sets of mounting holes are there from the factory, that frame has not been modified.

YES ! the frame and center look correct someone just bolted ford van seats to it , Find a set of blazer high backs and then it will look great .
