well what do you like:

buddy buckets

utility buckets (blazer or 69 72 buckets)

bench seat

Sinister · 07-19-2010, 08:34 PM

I like my bench cause I can sleep on it at rest stops.

vectorit · 07-19-2010, 08:43 PM

Bench seat all the way.
Bench seats allow your honey to sit closer, and it makes a good arm rest on long drives. Plus they are more comfortable IMO

marks1972 · 07-19-2010, 09:18 PM

bench seats definatly.
"Marital Activities" and bucket seats dont mix very well

i got a thread about buddy buckets and puttin temperputic foam in stead of original foam havent got any posts yet so check it out tell me what you think

**bigsnookmaster** · 07-21-2010, 10:27 AM

I've got buddy's now, and I like the storage in them, and the WOW factor, but the bench is way more comfortable.IMO

well that is true but bud buckets have an arm rest in the middle and on the door so i think your covered.

Shyguy · 07-19-2010, 08:41 PM

Yep, bench seats are good for sleeping on. I have done it many times.

I don't have any of the seats listed in my two trucks. I have mini van bucket seats, well kind of, I still have to finish bolting them down. They are real comfortable, but kind of look a little out of place.

bigguy69 · 07-19-2010, 09:29 PM

i vote for the bench seat. i am 6'5" and 360 lbs it is the most comfortable i have found so far!!

crapy67 · 07-19-2010, 09:30 PM

Bench seat here to

1968CHEVYC10 · 07-19-2010, 10:26 PM

Bench seats have almost 60%! Was blazer buckeys a typo? I've never heard of them.

gixxerpymp · 07-19-2010, 10:36 PM

Bench... Looks better IMO.

Rat Bastid · 07-20-2010, 12:53 AM

bench for the woman snuggled up close on summer evening cruises and very comfy

reds_racing · 07-20-2010, 01:09 AM

Curious as to why you can buy 5 bench seats for the cost of one set of buckets and a console if so many people prefer a bench!!!! Supply and demand I reckon'.

laid_out_70 · 07-20-2010, 03:46 AM

im in need of bench foam!

Lippyp · 07-20-2010, 04:54 AM

For me a bench is what makes it quintessentially American and of its age so bench all the way.

GRX · 07-20-2010, 09:26 PM

Bench warmers unite!

**leddzepp** · 07-20-2010, 09:38 PM

Bench all the way. Buddy buckets are cool....unless you are 6'2" and riding in the middle, that middle seat is NOT comfortable.

67chevy1series · 07-21-2010, 12:05 AM

well im 5,10 and im only a sophtmore so theres no telling how tall i could get

Then again, no man, let alone a 6'2" one should ever be sitting in the middle

had to say it. I voted buddy's just because I like the look, myself I'm thinking late model leather, power buckets, with a console, only beacuse buddy's are way over priced and my truck is in no way worth restoring to stock.

Dads69C10 · 07-21-2010, 12:20 AM

Nothing cooler than a bench in houndstooth

67chevy1series · 07-21-2010, 04:35 AM

ive only seen a couple benches with hounds tooth
