Favorite carpet/seat belt suppliers?

[ol Curt]

I was going to put a new black mat in my truck to match the original. Seeing that they are $85 and I figure carpet might be had for $120 it makes more sense to do that.

I have my original seat belts, but want three rather than two. I know a new one would stand out like a sore thumb with the old.


Who do you guys use for suppliers?

Iv'e used www.julianos.com on a few projects. Make sure if on a bench set that you order long enough belt lengths, they offer different lengths.

I've used seatbeltsplus.com before and had great luck with them. Some colors are special order, but they have quite a few in stock. Quick shipping also.

I used these guys and got the classic style belts and shoulder harness, for three passengers.

Thanks guys. I used the gotbelts as I liked the option of a buckle that looks very close to my factory ones. I cleaned them up real nice last night and its too bad, I think I could have used them, except one had a little bit of tearing in the webbing. I didn't want it to be visible on the drivers side, but I didn't want to ask a passenger (my wife) to use one that might have been inferior. I also wanted to add a third one and at least this way they will match.

If their colors are true, the belts I ordered should look just like mine. I'll post a pic of the old ones on the seat.

Thanks again!!

Here is the seat with one of the old belts

Just an fyi regarding the mat - following is an old link from another site that shows how the LMC full floor polyvinyl mat looks installed, even though he cut his in half. Something to consider if you prefer a mat to carpet.

Whatever carpet you pick, please post photos of how it goes in and if you are happy with the results. I'm thinking of putting carpet in mine but I've seen some that really look bad installed, and don't know which are good and which aren't.

From my build link.....

Re: ol Curt Progress
I'm looking at carpets as well. I found a supplier that makes a molded carpet for our trucks, and they prefer to send you samples...something you wouldn't get from our vendors who don't specialize. I ordered the samples tonight. They are about $10 cheaper than LMC and some of the others.

The truck was his and he sure as heck wouldn't understand why I took a perfectly good truck and tore it down!

Got my seat belts today, but quite disappointed in the length. The company I ordered them from doesn't have any info on their site about where to measure to and from on the lengths. I should have asked!!

Have an of you ordered (lap) belts for your truck, and if so, what length did you buy?

Ordered a set of seatbelt for my long bed on Tuesday afternoon from seatbeltpros and received them Friday the day after Thanksgiving. I ordered three belts at seventy five inches long, fire red, and chrome lift latch. Belt fit well and way happy withe fast shipment.

Why not go with originals? I have added a center spot on several of my trucks, using factory belts. Also, there are companies that will stitch new webbing, utilizing your original clasps and inserts. Otherwise, good, used belts are the way to go, in my opinion.

I checked with three different upholstery shops here who all told me they wouldn't touch seat belts because of the liability.

Here is a picture of how my interior looks with new belts.

That looks great!

For those ready to do belts, I found one fact out a bit late. The belts are measured from tip of buckle to tip of buckle. So be sure you order long enough!I found that out the hard way!
