Re: buddy buckets

Don't know how much they charge for them but a.place called Rick''s Custom Upholstery in Tennessee. Makes them. All I do know is they do really nice work. They made covers for ours. Just Google them. They have a website. Good luck!!

I think the fella you are referring to is Grumpyoldman. But he was making buckets. Not Buddy buckets. Here- http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=617573

Re: buddy buckets

You get, or make, a frame and the rest can be done.

Ozzy! How ya been? How's that 454 gar grabber doing? I hear Elkton in the weather a lot and wonder how your truck came out.

Re: buddy buckets

I rebuilt some of these Smittybilt seats for a member recently to match the "buddy seat" and they worked pretty good , Firedemon built a few sets of buddy seat frames a while back that looked great check with him on frames ,The seat tracks are still produced and are just generic originals . You can probably get all the parts together and cover them.
