What do you use for seatbelts?
 

My driver side belt no longer latches. Since buying new originals seems
to cost a mint, what do you guys use? Aftermarkets? What looks/works good?

There was a thread started about this over the weekend. I think the resounding answer was pretty much stealing a seatbelt kit from an S10. I just don't remember the year.

I'M STILL LOOKING FOR THE PRICEY O.E. ONES, I HAVE A BRAND NEW
SET OF AFTERMARKETS STILL IN THE BOX, BLACK RETRACTABLE TYPE
CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT I PAID FOR EM, CAN GET PIC'S IF INTERESTED

:confused: :confused: :confused:

Sure!

I just got a pair of 3pt retractable and a center lap belt from GEM in Covina, CA. for about $170. I don't recall the price exactly. I've used belts from GEM on another project and I find them to be satisfactory. They are less cost than Juliano's and DOT approved. Plus the guy who answers the phone (I think its a one man operation) is a hoot to do business with.

I picked up a set from a full sized C1500 for mine. sholder and lap belt combo. Works great and a little longer than the S10 belts.

Hobby,

Do you have a link or phone # for GEM? I too am looking for a good 3 point set.

THEY COME WITH ALL THE BOLTS AND WASHERS, THEY
ALSO COME WITH LITTLE "L" TYPE BRACKETS SO THAT
THE RETRACTABLE END WILL STAND UP ON END, LIKE I
SAID THESE ARE NOT O.E. JUST A GENERIC TYPE, I'LL
GO $45 + SHIPPING ON THEM, THANKS FOR LOOKING ;)

mr402, http://www.gemstreetrods.com/ should do it for you.

I got stock parchment ones in the blazer (hard as hell to find) and have some black ones in the 69..

YUP, THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR, SOMEONE HAD A SET FOR
SALE ON THE BLAZER BOARD RECENTLY, I PM'D THEM AND THEY
NEVER REPLIED TO MY PM, SO I GUESS I'M STILL LOOKING. :whine:

I got the ones like LUV2XCLR8 off ebay from "fatrodder" and have been happy with them.

It parchment the white/yellowish belts ? I have a really nice set here. I am going with black interior now.

i have some out of a 79 truck, the work and look great

Chevy S10

Thats where I got the ones for the blazer.He is a trip.
I bought blue ones from Ricks for my blue suburban.

I Want To To Say I'm Sorry To Anyone Who I May Have
Misled On These, I Paid $45 Ea. For These, Or $90 Total,
I Found My Receipt Late Last Night After I Shutdown,
They Are Still New In The Box, Never Mounted, I'll Have
To Have $60 (Shipping Included Anywhere In Lower 48) :(

LUV2XCLR8 - I think Ill pass on those. For some reason I just dont like
the look of them. If anyone else wants 'em go for it!

I kinda like the chrome ones.

too bad they are not restractable.

they are technically illegal, but they blow 3pt belts out of the water! i dont use the 5 point, so they are a 4 pt harness.

I bought these. They are very nice

The black ones go for 25 more than the gray or other colors.
