That is what I was thinking..or maybe Jeep

sduckworth13 · 02-25-2016, 12:04 AM

They are definitely not Chevrolet.

sduckworth13 · 02-25-2016, 12:05 AM

But...they still look like a cool option without spending the cash everyone wants for the buddy buckets.

**leddzepp** · 02-25-2016, 02:24 AM

Buddy buckets were made by Bostrom, which is why there are similarities between the ones used in Dodge, GM, and International. The above pictured buddy seats are from an International.

100%Chevy · 02-25-2016, 11:33 AM

I posted mine way back but never showed a picture,so here they are as they came from GM---

Mike.

ol_skool_chevy · 02-25-2016, 09:32 PM

100%Chevy...how can you tell the International seats from the rest?....what International do you think they came out of?

ol_skool_chevy · 02-25-2016, 10:04 PM

your right

**leddzepp** · 02-25-2016, 10:04 PM

I've pulled them from all three truck makes I listed. The only truck I've never seen them in is a Ford. Here is a set of them from a 69/70 International that a friend of mine pulled. Yours are missing the end brackets that mount between the tubular frame and the floor.

ol_skool_chevy · 02-26-2016, 12:32 AM

wow thanks a ton.......I might still use them. I can make that bracket

sportside · 03-05-2016, 01:00 PM

Here is mine. Dont mind the messy truck.

**chewychevy67** · 03-05-2016, 04:10 PM

I added power tracks from a 67 Chevelle to both my pass and driver. Seat just goes back and forward just like stock. The tracks raised the seat by 1" so I cut the frame down 1 1/4" so they sit proper height and had to get the center raised back up so the console matches the seat height and so the jack can still be placed under the seat .

This blanket covers the tank and on 67s only when the jack handle is mounted on the floor and not upright in the pillar this cardboard cut out with rug covering it is in tha passenger corner. Not sure how 68 up finished the passenger corner.

I put Black carpet behind mine in my 72 .

smbrouss70 · 03-26-2019, 02:24 PM

A friend of mine just installed some buddy buckets, you should be able to order the carpeted tank cover from any of the usual places.

4cRanch · 04-08-2019, 11:57 PM

Anyone point me in the direction to buy these brackets for my 67-68 BB seats? All I'm finding are the 69-72 brackets.

Astro-Balls · 04-09-2019, 07:01 PM

Contact this guy, He is remaking the Buddy bucket assemblies and might sell you the mounting brackets alone.
