The parts book lists them for 77-80, but I've only ever seen them in 79 and 80 trucks, and only in red. The 79 sales literature mentions that they were only available in red trim too. They are really not common though. I own both of the only two sets I've ever seen. Seat belts are slightly different on bucket seat models, the latch end is shorter and cased in stiff plastic instead of the flexible stuff over the bench style belts.
They are actually kind of annoying too. The seat backs do not flip forward, so stowing anything behind the seat sucks. If you are looking for a set of buckets. Some prior owner modded one of mine so that it will flip forward, but its not very pretty and has no latch. So far I've had no probs with it flying forward on its own, but I always know it could.
If you are looking to get buckets in your truck, I suggest you just go ahead and find some from something else. You'd have to fabricate some brackets, but even the original ones need a little drilling to fit. The stockers are almost identical to 84-90ish Isuzu Trooper buckets. Troop seats tilt though, have a nice pocket on the back. You'd have to fab the brackets, but they would be pretty close to start off from.
