Re: middle seat belt
The information regarding Rear Passenger Car belts, I have only documentation for 1963, therefore I do not know if that holds true for subsequent years. I do know that the buckles used in 62 & 63 were the same but the webbing of the belt was different. Interestingly enough, the seat belt assemblies were supplied to Chevrolet by the Irving Airchute Co. Model #5000C in 62-63. I found a seat belt at a automotive flea market that had the Irving Airchute decal with the same model number as Chevrolet. Some recent lift trucks have a virtually identical seat belt, though they are not Irving produced. Irving closed it's doors, I think because of a lawsuit. I do not know if they operate by another name. You can find the Chevrolet Decal in reproduction.
