what seats did you put in your 67-72 Chevy truck ? - Page 6 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have an original c10 cheyenne tach ac bucket seats by the numbers but somewhere along the lines it lost the buckets and gained a bench. Is there anywhere to buy a decent set of original buckets in red?

SeniorVerde · 11-18-2016, 02:20 PM

Subaru Imprezza and a blazer console.
Dirty seats will get recovered someday.

These seats are from an 05 trailblazer. They are big--but comfortable. Still have to hook up the electrics and decide whether or not I want the console there.

Hello, and Happy New Year guys, loving the idea's. Now with the Holidays and my daughters near Christmas b-day out of the way I can start focusing time and effort back to my truck.
skygmc, I was entertaining using a '95-'99 chevy front 60/40 bench w/ the center console. But after seeing you and a couple others using the back crew cab seat ('01-'07??)I am interested. I like the fact that these seats have the built in cup holder. I guess I am a victim of my modern cup holders. But seriously how much cutting and hacking was required to fit in your truck? looks like you made a marriage btwn the original frame and the later frame?
I Had once upon a time '88-'94 40/60 bench in my '66 C10 (which is what these would be going in). Those were great minimal fab. but i sold those when i stopped driving the truck to tear into it. Sorry long story short, do you have a few more pics of what you encountered in your install?? Any feedback is appreciated as well. Thanks

I bought a set of buddy buckets.

Love that seat! You bought new foam and they cut it? There is still enough cushion for the butt? Is that total custom or covers you bought? How much did that run you? Or should I say how much do you want for it?

I'm considering having mine "cupped" out like that. The big issue is that I'd have to have a new cover made.

Here's how mine currently looks.

Original 1967 Buddy Buckets highly modified and custom covered...

findog78 · 01-03-2017, 07:20 PM

First saw this in a mag. Similar but with a wider center section.

Picked up a grey cup holder out of a 88-94 Silverado at pick n pull, cleaned it up, painted it black, and installed it.

Special thanks to "BugzC10" for the idea and sharing a link to show how he mounted it.

70short · 02-12-2017, 05:24 PM

Canuckvetter how do those seats fit in the cab? I like the way they look. Are they tight or do you have good foward and back adjustment.

Can you post a couple of pictures with the cup holder out please.

That's awesome I did the same thing except mine are out of an 03 second row seat Tahoe and still Functionable as far as the bottoms pulling up and the backs folding forward . I had headrests cut and bolstered the seats just a little more

My builder was a F---d man so the power seats are out of a Mustang. They still have the airbag tag. Cute hugh? That is also why the truck is painted 2011 F---d Mustang Grabber Blue. Not many around to be sure.
