NOS Black Shoulder Belt Set on Ebay...Not mine. - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Never knew Corvette seat belt boots would work.

Pretty crazy. The cynic in me makes me wonder if someone put together a set like I will for my super and then sold them as NOS with some boxes they had left over from their real set....

....anyone have any leftover boxes

I am seriously just kidding. I'd never pass them off as NOS but I am seriously considering making two sets and using one for my super and seeing what I can get on ebay with the second.

The only thing that makes me believe that the seller didn't make the belts is because the pillar mounting end is correct. Unless someone made one by cutting down the female mounting end...but I seriously doubt it. I think they are GM made...but I suppose it's possible the boots were swapped before posting them. Again, I doubt it. I really think GM used the corvette style because they were what was available.

If you make two sets, are you going to use the car mounting ends or modify the truck mounting end?

They will, but according to Trevor, keep your window up if the belt is in the boot. They don't hold as well as the original truck boots with the retaining dimple.

VA72C10 · 03-28-2011, 02:18 AM

Not sure. Going to call the guy who has the correct GM webbing and who re-did my other belts for me. He does more than just these trucks so he might have the correct pieces from the car or might even have the correct truck ones...

Like everyone has said, you can make them. They just won't be 100% authentic. Not that the common person would know. I have ran a similar type setup, and I just don't like the way they don't hold the belts up out of the way like the originals I have. Trevor

I may get to test the waters on that pretty soon. I've got a set in the shop I had made with all the correct parts. I'm just waiting for the female part to get fixed. I didn't like the way they were done the first time around. Retractors and shoulder belts are all done. No I won't be listing them as NOS.

Don't tell anyone but 68-69 Mustang should belt boots are a dead ringer, and have the dimple.

They have a dimple, but don't look close to original. I'll snap some pics of my original boots. Trevor

I have had several sets from a 68-69 Mustang and Cougar. They are close, but still easy to differentiate.

**DANTIP** · 03-29-2011, 02:01 PM

Here's my shoulder belts with the dimpled receptacles.

**leddzepp** · 03-29-2011, 02:06 PM

Mine are identical to Dan's pictured above.

keep us in the loop and let us know when you list them so we can watch them

mal68ibu · 04-02-2011, 07:37 PM

I wasn't intending to suggest the mustang units were identicle, just close and readily available. I have had a couple sets of originals. I've also noticed that the lower boots in certain years of 80's blazers look similar, w/o the dimple. Was wondering how much heat it would take to make a dimple in them.

**leddzepp** · 04-02-2011, 07:41 PM

The dimple is what is seen on the outside. Inside the cover it is a molded "hook" so to speak that retains the belt buckle. Several people have tried to replicate the dimple, but it only leads to destroying the boot.
