Factory blue buckets

I am putting a set of buckets out of a 98 Suburban in my 68 Chevy truck. I am cutting the pedastals down about 2.5" and then rewelding them to get the ride height correct. I am going to build a console out of aluminum and cover the sides with the same material as the rest of the interior. The top will be out of 1/4" aluminum and covered in carbon fiber material. The shifter will be in the console with the radio and ignition components. All of which will be in a compartment in front of the shifter.

2006 Chevy Cobalt buckets.

Easy to install, almost to easy, lots of adjustment, easy mount, low enough that a six foot plus guy has a little more head and leg room.

no pictures yet, the colunm and gauges are still out...

i like the seats and consoles from the 67-72 era, but finding them in decent shape is getting hard to do. thats why i am leaning toward the late models

Re: bucket seats and consoles
 

i used some balck high back sport seats from summitracing.com and made a console out of steel that goes from the dash all the way back to the back of the cab and rises up the the bottom of the rear window, i also added some cup holders and some guages to the console, also it will be getting some speakers in it and be painted the same color orange as the truck and rest of the dash soon there are some pics in my build thread

Stock in my 68 CST 1 ton.

Re: bucket seats and consoles
 

I have those red buckets like Spray Bomb used,from a low mile`89 Blazer.(& back seat)
I also have a pair of vinyl low-backs from my`92 K3500 that will work nicely.
Then there`s the utility buckets I have in the parts board.With the headrests pulled out the`92 low-backs have a simular look to the utilities.

This is what I'm planning for my '69 except my buddy buckets will be black and white houndstooth. I'll have the capacity for 3 passengers (so I can take both of my kids) and it still feels like a bucket. The storage and fold down armrest are nice when no one is in the middle also.

Here's some more bucket seats shots.

i found a seat out of a 60s thunderbird, it has a bench bottom with bucket backs and a fold down arm rest. the reason i like this seat is that the back of the seat looks alot like the buckets out of our trucks, that and they fold forward.:metal:

WOW, those are some nice refinished seats! I put after market seats in mine but, haven't been real happy with them, too big. I have buckets out of a 67 in the garage just need to be reupholstered.

Re: bucket seats and consoles
 

I have a line on a set of buckets from a Silverado which have the belt integrated into the seat. I read an article in a Custom Classic Trucks mag a few years back that had several late model seats that practically bolt up in a 67-72

Heres my 68

Re: bucket seats and consoles
 

Here's some i have sent out of my shop in the last few months.
We can do them in any original color or whatever you can come up with.

Re: bucket seats and consoles
 

TTT those are some great looking seats

Re: bucket seats and consoles
 

Has anyone bought seats from this site? http://www.discountvantruck.com/truc...truckseats.htm They come with adapter brackets to bolt right into our trucks.

I like the original buddy bucket seats, but finding an original seat seems difficult. The reupholstered one I found on Ebay was going for $1050. Ebay is where I found this dealer.

I was just wondering if anyone has purchsed one of these aftermarket seats, and I'd love to see one in our trucks.

Thanks,

Dan
