The seats are the same, the frames are different. Buddy buckets were not made by GM, Dodge, etc. They were made by an outside company which is why a lot of them have interchangeable parts. I would try to find a set with a Chevy frame, regardless of what the seats came out of. As far as foam, 40 year old foam is junk no matter what it looks like and needs to be replaced.
