seats? anyone running these? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

tantrumpipeline · 11-17-2010, 03:53 AM

bored and looking around at peoples trucks on here and deciding that the buddy buckets are not worth the money people want IMO for uncomfortable seats, although they look better than any other seat in the 67-72's, too much to shell out. Found these and thing with a blazer or a custom console they could look pretty good, resto mod somewhat, but look comfortable. anyone have pics of these or this style in their truck?http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Check out my build I have BMW seats in it ...full power and heat....took off the head rests so they look just like old style low back buckets but they're very comfortable...I built ,y console from the dash tot he tank ( well just look) but a regular console would fit just fine

tantrumpipeline · 11-17-2010, 12:00 PM

they do look good, what year ar they from? be hard to find up here I bet though, not a BMW dealer or car to be seen for over 200miles

Hottrucks · 11-17-2010, 01:18 PM

3 or 5 series out of a 98...check the local junk yards...in a few weeks when it snows they'll be full again...lol

those are beyond sweet, like a modern buddy bucket only you can get real leather, heaters, wow I wish I had that kind of money

sandnuriz · 11-17-2010, 04:03 PM

Nice I seen them on Ebay I thought about changing mine out and putting 4 buckets in my Blazer? But I don't know how comfortable they are? Look good keep us posted on the seats!

tantrumpipeline · 11-17-2010, 04:07 PM

for sure, I'm a long ways from need them, but I had a similar set in an old toyota 4x4 I built and they were great even on long trips, but I'm somewhat concerned with how they will look in an older truck

Before you make a decision request a set of fabric samples from them. I did, and I'm very glad I did. The colors on the website really didn't match up with the options on the color sample. Once I got the samples, I decided that I wouldn't be able to get the color I wanted ... so I passed on them. But if you are going with a standard black, etc., then those folks look pretty good.

coolthanks for the info, I'm going with a black interior for ease of matching so I'll probably get some samples sent when I'm ready for them
