Can you guys get me some picks of factory buckets and consoles. Maybe factory installs? Debating on adding some factory buckets to the truck.

**N2TRUX** · 02-12-2010, 09:40 PM

xs-style · 02-12-2010, 09:59 PM

Im in the process of making the suburban brackets fit with my floor. Then it will be time to lay the carpet and get the seats covered. If you have any specific questions Ill try my hand at answering from my learn-as-i-go knowledge lol

that was a pic of my last 87 i had a few years ago...i got the factory buckets out of an old 75 truck...i got them re-upholstered and they turned out nice

this was a pic before i found some black seat belts

sickred72 · 02-12-2010, 11:57 PM

Those do look super nice! I would also like to do black but my seat belts and door panels are white.

95 S_Trucker · 02-13-2010, 12:07 AM

My boss has a 78 with factory hi-back buckets:

and here is a pic with the seat and console out. you can see the brackets welded to the floor for the tracks to bolt to here:

80SPORT · 02-13-2010, 12:53 PM

1979 factory buckets ...this truck has 600 original miles so is a good reference point......

holy crap!

600 miles??

Prong · 02-13-2010, 08:02 PM

That truck was on Ebay about a year ago or so. IIRC, the owner was looking for about a 20K purchase price.

86swb · 02-13-2010, 10:01 PM

Did it sell? To me it would be worth 20K. You can not buy a new one for that and it would turn a lot more heads plus nice for taking to shows.

95 S_Trucker · 02-13-2010, 11:07 PM

20k isnt a bad price at all, the one i posted had 34,000 original miles and my boss got it for 10

f.monroe · 02-13-2010, 11:29 PM

I think 80SPORT owns that one also . It is definitely a nice truck .

86swb · 02-13-2010, 11:50 PM

Also looks like it is a 4X4. Did not know you could get a black truck with red and white interior. Looks sharp.

I have the same interior; I have gray carpet and a gray dash pad with two-tone exterior blue paint. However, I think that center console was repainted incorrectly. I don't believe the cup holders were white (oyster). I just don't ever recall my Dads seats ever being that white even new. Wow! I think I'll tone it down when I get them recovered.

86swb · 02-14-2010, 10:40 AM

Also, under the door (door sill) that did not come with chrome. Someone put a little more shine into the truck. But nothing wrong with that. Beautiful

givengold · 02-15-2010, 02:33 AM

I just picked up a pair of blue low back buckets and a console from a 73 with 80,00 miles on it. Very nice shape. Got them off of CL. a bit spendy, but worth it to me. I will be listing my 88-91 suburban buckets and console soon. I will be subscribing first.

86SWB the door sills seem to be factory to me, I just installed my intertior and my parts came out of GM plastic.

**Dads79GMC** · 02-15-2010, 04:20 PM

Here is an old shot of mine. Of course it's in a million pieces now, but it shows the interior in its original (pristine, LOL) condition. I'm putting everything back to original color.

80SPORT · 02-20-2010, 08:57 PM

An 80 with factory buckets and the grey/white interior.....

USSkoval · 02-20-2010, 10:59 PM

That one has the white cup holders too.

So what colors were available along with the white seats and door panels? Red and gray have both been posted here, and I have also seen black before. Were there any others?

95 S_Trucker · 02-21-2010, 12:53 AM

I dont mean to hijack the thrad, but i dont know if anyone has noticed but the console sits higher in 4wd trucks than 2wd. i am working on a little 2wd-4wd project and i was wonering what the factory used to raise the rear of the console to make it level with the front, i know i can just make a little spacer but i was curious to see what the factory did

2wd floor pan, the front of the console sits on the cross support

4wd floor pan, the front of the console bolts to the little ridge with 2 dimples in in
