72 Bucket seat rod - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Need to get a seat adjustment rod for a driver side bucket seat. Can someone measure the length of theirs? I will probably have to fabricate one. Any photos of the ends?

Ttt. I could use these measurements as well.

I have several and will get pics later today if nobody else does. If you can't locate one a coathanger cut to fit works perfectly

Hi Leddzepp, we are talking about the actual lever or handle, not the piece that connects between the two seat tracks. I believe there are two rivets that secure it to the frame and this is where they always break. Thanks.

I believe you are talking about a buddy bucket adjustment lever (since it looks like a rod). It attaches with two rivets, but he is asking about a 72 which leads me to believe it is the connecting rod that he is talking about. Either way I have both and will post pics of either or both if I get clarification. The seat adjustment lever on a 72 bucket is on one rivet that pivots.

Hi Leddzepp, If it's not too much trouble, could you post pics of both? Sorry to the OP, I'm not trying to hijack your thread, just trying to help you and me both.

Buddy bucket adjuster handle is 9" long

**leddzepp** · 08-01-2014, 03:01 PM

Connecting rod for 69-72 buckets is 10.75" long

Thanks Leddzepp.
