Re: 67-68 buddy bucket set complete

Isn't the seat track adjuster supposed to be on the outboard side of the seat?

Re: 67-68 buddy bucket set complete

I haven't read any other posts yet, didn't want them to sway my thought on value. That looks like a $600 set to me.

Re: 67-68 buddy bucket set complete

thanks for the comments. i posted them for $650 and had a whole bunch of low ball offers and 2 full price offers within 2 days of listing.

james - i thought that was odd too, i have another set with the adjustment lever on the side. i wonder if they moved the handle in for some reason.

Re: 67-68 buddy bucket set complete

I've never seen the handle there (im fairly new though) but maybe they did it to protect the handle as they get broken a lot. LOL Not sure how you'd use it but at least the handles not broke!
its a good assumption if the previous owner wasn't sure... the slider could have been attached the first way they found them to fit like in many bench trucks. Just a thought!
$600-700 is fair. I wouldn't sell mine for even $700 as they are too hard to get plus the shipping adds to that when your buying them. If its not determining the profit margin on a truck your parting, Id keep'em. If it is, the seat looks to be in good condition so id stick to my price.

Re: 67-68 buddy bucket set complete

$600-$1000 bucks depending on area and demand. You would be amazed at how bad guys are trying to find a pair of those seats bro! The handle is in the wrong place but that's no biggie! What's most important on those seats are the frame, console, and foam! $600.00 is a bargain! Just be sure you want to get rid of them. You maybe kicking yourself one day! Good luck!
