: Need bucket seats


65 El Co

I just bought a 65 Elcamino about 6 months ago. A previous owner installed a set of 86 thunderbird buckets. I would like to buy some "Chevrolet" bucket seats. Prefer 68 to 72. Any one near California have any for sale? I know I can get new ones for $1300 ea. but don't have that kind of money. Any leads would be appreciated.

Someone on the Chevelle Mail list had a pair of 65 Malibu buckets for sale the other day.

I got some frames locally from a guy on ebay and reupholstered them myself. THat's likely your best bet though it's a bit tedious (I think yours will be easier though, since they're earlier)

Start with something similar to this

If you find them locally, you can save on shipping
