Re: bucket seats and consoles

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.

Re: bucket seats and consoles

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...

Talking Re: bucket seats and consoles

The previous owner bought these buddy seats and had them restored. I personally love them but wished I had cup holders when the buddy seat is down LOL


Edit: just realized this is is a zillion year old thread, started in 2008! I blame c10boss_ LOL

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.

Re: bucket seats and consoles

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.

Re: bucket seats and consoles

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.
