What type of bucket seats are these? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**mrtoni** · 07-15-2019, 03:53 PM

This is in a 1969 gmc. But they look like 67-68 buddy buckets minus the buddy frame. Notice the front board on floor under mounts. Can we confirm these are Chevy/gmc truck seats for sure?

Couple more

Those aren't Chevy truck seats . The bottoms look like Chevelle . El Camino seats the tops / seat back were never a Chevy seat . Almost looks like someone "made the covers fit" . Could tell more with pictures of the seat tracks and the back side of the seats . The wood front spacers give it away . These are 71 SS El Camino seats

Those style seats came in some motor homes. They are not GM factory.

Spid has bucket seats listed but you’re saying they are generic aftermarket vs gm? It is a motorhome

I have seen several different types of buckets come in the class c motor homes, including correct truck buckets. By 71/72, most seemed to be factory buckets just like pickups, but prior to that it seemed to be a mix. Perhaps dependent on the camper mfgr that was adding the motor home - just a guess, I honestly don’t know. These clearly look added by a po with the wood mounting system.

The price on camper is so cheap I saw dollar signs. Thought I could sell seats and recover my investment. Cab and all interior super nice. Fawn steering wheel has one crack. Dash pad good. In cab add on a/c

I have two sets of these seats just like these that are out of a open road brand motorhome. Not gm seats not sure what they are. Parted the rest of the motor home out. Problem is most scrap places wont take the back half of the motor home because it's full of wood. That's what I discover on the last couple I have parted out. I just picked up one recently had 68-72 chevelle/cutlas bucket seats. So who knows what the different motor home manufactures would install. Usually the cabs and front end pieces are pretty nice.

Here are some pictures of the one I recently bought

68chevycst · 07-21-2019, 05:11 PM

I scored this one for $500 a month ago. Had to change the fuel lines and drove it home. Now the fun part of dismantling the camper...

**mrtoni** · 07-21-2019, 04:49 PM

So those pics were from a mh in Boise area. Think it was listed as 69 gmc for maybe 1200? Just sold

**mrtoni** · 07-21-2019, 05:08 PM

Seats in general have increased in value. K5 buckets shot up from $3-400 to $1200 in the last five years. I’m into vans and those seats were 50-100 bucks now 3-400
