Question School me on 'Buddy Bucket' seats ...

So, are the standard buckets seats found in our trucks, the same used with the 'Buddy Bucket' option?

What I mean is, say I have a pair of standard bucket seats ...if I source a buddy centre seat, frame, and all necessary attachments, rails, etc, will I have a true Buddy Bucket combo? Will it work? ... or do they differ somehow?

No. Buddies have a frame, regular buckets do not. Search this forum, you'll see the differences.

The buddy buckets were had in the 67-8 models only. The buckets and console were used through the rest of the run

I believe the seats are physically different.
