Help ID these power bucket seats - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Recently picked up an unknown set of fixed power buckets. Three-way (or six?) electric adjustment seems to be working on both. They look very late 60's Nova/Chevelle-ish to me, but since they dont fold, I'm guessing they came from a truck or van? Switch looks maybe FoMoCo from googleing. Going to sell them as soon as I get an ID. Any guesses as to the make? or value?

I don't have a clue on what they came from but they certainly are cool.

Hi , Jeep 4 door Wagoneer seats that someone has reupholstered to give them the Chevy look Going by the fact they can't lean forward to be used in a 2 door car and the skirt on the outside seat bottom where the power switches are located .

I agree with Grumpy, they look like the Wagoneer seats. AMC used a lot of switches and parts from other manufacturers. That would explain the switch.

Thank you for your replies. Yes, I think you guys are onto something with the Jeep connection. The bases match for sure. Now to figure what they are worth. Thanks again!

I have a high bucket back/bench seat out off a '69 T-Bird. It has a cool flop-down armrest. I found the build sheet in the seat bottom. Mine has the same type switch on it.
I used to have the seat hooked up but the 30 amp draw was bad on the battery. But it was nice on long trips to adjust the seat angle to ease accellerator cramps.
I've had it recovered in saddle color vinyl a couple of times, but big German Shepherds with unmanicured claws don't care.

They look like they are in good shape and as long as the power works right I'd price them at $650.00 to$750.00 . try buying and reupholstering another set for less .
