NOS Black Shoulder Belt Set on Ebay...Not mine.
here is a set of black NOS shoulder belts on eBay right now. They are for a truck, they are GM, but they appear to be Newer GM brand NOS. You can tell by the 5-band webbing and the non dimpled male buckle retaining boots. Also, the retaining boots may be a bit longer than the 1967-70 or the 1971-mid 70s. I can't quite tell, but it looks like it. Nevertheless, they are a nice find, for someone wanting to add this rare option to their ride. I thought I'd let some of you know incase someone's looking.

Richard, That is where my little brother purchased his NOS seatbelts from. They are too rich for me right now. Last I saw $430. Mike.

Yes, they are getting up there. I paid around $400 for my set, which has the correct 71-up dimples. These do not. Honestly, at these prices, I'd use car middle bench seat belts and purchase the boots from the Corevette reproduction websites to make a set for less. One reason being is that the buyer is already going to have to buy a new GM licensed buckle cover. If they were in the 200s, probably would be worth it. I bet they fetch over $500, though.

Re: NOS Black Shoulder Belt Set on Ebay...Not mine.
I know they would That's the route I'd go. If you decide to, I can set you up with some console seat belt retainers for the shoulder belts. I have a few more sets.

Re: NOS Black Shoulder Belt Set on Ebay...Not mine.
Shoulder belt length is different from middle car belt length, I believe. Also if you want to get nit picky the pass car middle belt has a wavy floor mount and the correct truck belt has a flat (66-67 gm pass car) mount. I had an original set from a 72 that I documented all the stuff from so that I could have a set made for my 67 that was dead nuts correct.

Re: NOS Black Shoulder Belt Set on Ebay...Not mine.
Could you post the info on the ends/exact dimensions here? Would make a good FAQ post for future reference. Also, I have a local guy with GM webbing who makes belts for a reasonable price. and I have a box full of faded belts with good male and female ends so I'm considering having him make me a good shoulder belt set.

Re: NOS Black Shoulder Belt Set on Ebay...Not mine.
Wow! Those belts are going for $610 with about 12 hrs to go. Hmmm, lets take a new guess...$750 ending?

Re: NOS Black Shoulder Belt Set on Ebay...Not mine.
Ok, I got some pictures and measurements.
When comparing my NOS truck female lap belt with the NOS shoulder female belt, there is only a difference of 1 & 1/2". The female shoulder belt is a little longer (1&1/2"). Therefore, any truck lapbelt should be just fine to use for the shoulder belt. The female truck lapbelt measured (webbing only) tip to tip, 42".

Re: NOS Black Shoulder Belt Set on Ebay...Not mine.
Ok, now for the male end. I measured my male shoulder belt (metal end to metal end), and it measured 28". So, a if using a car middle belt, it would have to be between 25-32 (metal tip to metal tip) inches to work. However, if piecing these together, all you need is the correct flat ends and any male belt that has webbing that exceeds 32 inches, and then have a shop sew on the correct flat pillar end. The waved/ridged car end will work...and you could even flatten it in a press or heavy duty vice.
Or, you could take the floor mounting end from a Female doner truck lap belt, and make the needed cuts and make one exactly like the flat truck male shoulder belt.

Re: NOS Black Shoulder Belt Set on Ebay...Not mine.
Ok, I was off by $40. They ended at $710. That should be a good enough reason to want to make your own using the corvette boots

Re: NOS Black Shoulder Belt Set on Ebay...Not mine.
someone wanted them really bad my first set of black ones was made up with corvette belts and boots with truck hardware. i have another set of oem out of a suburban that need restoring. after seeing how much those went for, i guess it's worth restoring mine.

Re: NOS Black Shoulder Belt Set on Ebay...Not mine.
You have to look them up on corvette parts distributors. I think they call them end covers. They will somewhat look the part, but for any truck with the window down driving, the belts will be blowing around banging into the rear cab walls. Trevor
