What an unusual seat on the 1967-68 Chevy/GMC pickups! It was standard equipment on the “top of the line” Chevrolet CST and GMC Super Custom pickups.
The seat consisted of two bucket seats and a much smaller center cushion referred by many as a Buddy seat. It allowed for a third passenger or the back cushion could be lowered horizontally to give an oversize arm rest. When you lift the lower cushion there is a large storage area. All are covered with pleated vinyl. Yes, three pair of seat belts were included.
The three cushions contained extra foam and better springs to give the owner a more comfortable ride. These seats were part of a more deluxe cab that had not been available in prior years. We have no documentation that they could even be special ordered on the larger 1 ½ and 2 tons.
