Does the middle seat bottom flip up to reveal storage?

For the cheapest way to ship full size seats /doors/hoods/fenders use USHIP ,Then it's a local pick up .The uship guys will use something like this as a filler on their load to help cover gas $ I used USHIP to ship a snow plow for my 4x4 gator from NW Mass to Knoxville for $100.00

Only problem is that there's no mounting rail with them.

What do you mean by mounting rail? These look complete and the description supports that. Are you talking about the piece that mounts to the back wall? No biggy, I see seats most seats sold w/o that. I think it's a fair price, but I can't call that cheap

Well ... When I keep seeing guys paying $900 - $1,000.00 for them tore up bad $750.00 is pretty cheap

I mean the part that bolts to the floor that the seats and the box bolt on too. I looked at the listing again and now I see it is there.

I've never understood why buddy buckets are so popular. Factory bench seats look better. For that kind of money I think I'd find something a little better looking and probably more comfortable.

People pay $1,000 for tore up buddy buckets because they don't know any better. Doesn't mean they are worth it. I just sold a set for that much that were really nice, just had covers and foam worn out on outer edge of driver side. I supplied the buns for that and all they needed were covers of choice. They were '68s, which are more rare, and were complete with back wall brace and strap, nice black painted frame and box, with jack instructions in good shape. That is what is worth a grand. These in the listing are better than others I see go for that much, but around $800 seems abut right. You just don't see the ones in worse shape go for less. Those are the ones I wouldn't pay that much for.

Because they like them? They are factory option, which is custom that bolts directly in. That's why. They can be done to be extremely comfortable. I have some I melted into when I sat in them.

Cmon factory buckets but with a middle seat? They are awesome. Would catch me paying for a set, but they kick butt for sure.

What is amazing is that someone could even ask that price. I will be another 500 minimum to bring those back into a usable condition.

What some will pay. I know where there is a set waiting for me for next to nuthin!

we all have different tastes, buddy buckets are neat cool looking and rare, guess that's why they bring the top dollar. Go to Ricks upholstery for pic's and very good covers.
