Factory bucket seats - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi I have a set of factory low back bucket seats including the brackets and console all in pretty good condition and I was wondering if anyone knows how rare these are and what they might be worth?

What year are these seats?

bigblock73 · 06-06-2005, 07:09 AM

Are they from a Blazer, Burb, or truck?

1978 jimmy · 06-06-2005, 02:42 PM

They came out of a 76 1ton dually truck.

Was it a crew cab or regular cab? Each had different seat brackets. If it is a regular cab, then you have the rarest brackets for our trucks out there. The seats are all pretty much the same, it is the brackets that drive what they are worth.

If you have the floor tabs that were welded to the floor of the truck ,I am interested in the tabs. I need a set . Frank

The truck that the seats and brackets came from was a regular cab,It was a rescue truck that was sitting in a junk yard about to be crushed, so I got the seats,brackets,console and carpet trim from behind the seats. The console was a little beat up but I have a good one thats exactly the same only a different color.I thought of putting them on ebay but I dont know how I could ship them since they are kinda bulky.

Where are you located? Did you get the floor tabs? What do you want for them ? Frank

i'll buy the brackets...

let me know...

If the chrome trim piece that wraps around the opening (under the lid) of the console is in good shape, I would be interested in buying that...if you are willing to sell it.

Hopefully it won't be bent or rusted. Dull and LIGHT rust is OK, just cany have severe rust, pits, or be mangled.

Please let me know.

Thanks

Shipping is not a problem. Use FEDEX and the correct size box.

Go to your local U-Haul store and buy a "shorty" wardrobe box (24x20x34) for $7.00 and everything will fit in that one box. Put one seat right side up and one seat upside down. The console and brackets will fit between the two seats with room to spare. I've sold 7 sets of seats/brackets/consoles this year (and 11 sets last year) and they all went this way. Don't even think about using UPS for something this size.

Rare?
The number of responses to your post should answer that question.

Price?
If the seats are solid and don't need new foam they're worth $75.00 - $100.00. If the console is not cracked or broken it's worth $50.00 - $75.00. If the brackets are complete (including the floor tabs) and not bent or broken they're worth $75.00 - $125.00.

If the seats need new foam they're worth $25.00. If the console is cracked or broken it's worth $10.00 - $20.00. If the mounting brackets are bent, broken, or missing some parts they're worth $25.00 - $50.00.
