For as long as you have been a member you do fully understand that you cannot post adds for things for sale or things wanted without being a paid supporting member or in your case a paid sponsoring vendor?

Expect a well deserved smackdown from the moderator.

Re: 47-55 Chevy Truck 1st series Buddy Bucket

Cool, some great looking seats there.

The covers to put on your seats with the matching trim pieces may be just what some of the folks have been hunting. Around here it isn't only the price but lately getting stuck in Upholstery jail after the truck just got bailed out of paint and body jail. The local guy does fantastic work but full custom jobs get sluffed for the quick in and out jobs.

Re: 47-55 Chevy Truck 1st series Buddy Bucket

Your seats look real professional but how do they feel for the long haul?

To me thats what really matters the most!

Do you have a show room?

JDarby
no, not fancy show room.. we manufacture them here..
I have been testing it out.. myself..
I have a set in my 87 chevy truck love them. our foam bullet is more dense than the original foam on buddy units.. so helps longevity of the cover and not crippled up when I get out of truck. haha.. if around here in TN you are welcome to sit in a set if we have some ready to ship. I have the LLL vinyl installed on them its boat UV rated and "BUBBA" sit outside 365 in sun and winter. has been for 4yrs no change in color or supple feel and his dash is done in same vinyl.. if that says anything.. have some 30yr customers on the LLL vinyl... and they love it. still looks good too... I'm sure your truck does not sit out side like mine.. We use "BUBBA" like a TRUCK.. have original set in 64 "MATER" you can feel difference between original and our units.. hope this helps.. any other question let us know, happy to help

Re: 47-55 Chevy Truck 1st series Buddy Bucket

Nice to hear you are using UV Marine vinyl, that's a big plus right there!

The proof is in the long ride and how you feel after that in my opinion!

Where in Tenn. would a person have to be to sit in some of your seat?
I will be needing seats for my 55.1 Advanced Design GMC.

yes, skirt has to be gone to put our buddy UNIT in.. bolts in kinda like 55 2nd-72 oh learned something have never heard Advanced design before... they do not drop in like old school bus round tube frame.
1st series truck frames remind me of the old school bus seats. springs drop in
with our buddy bucket frame UNIT you get floor frame, buckets and console both bucket slide for comfort.. console is stationary..
starting 2 sets next month for 53 54 should have them were you can check them out..

Re: 47-55 Chevy Truck 1st series Buddy Bucket

Pre 47 are commonly referred to as art deco
47-55.1 is advanced design
55.2-59 is task force

I'm in the North Dallas area, Plano.

My GMC has a skirt on the floor but it can be removed, and yes single piece glass windshield..

I'm building a "RestoMod" the originality of the truck has long passed. Ideally I would like my seat to be adjustable.

I do love Tenn. especially in the fall!
