Re: bucket belts vs bench belts
Bucket belts will have a "stiff arm" receiver side while the bench will have just a belt on the receiver side. By "stiff arm", I mean a belt with a plastic case that holds it upright. Those are needed for buckets.

Re: bucket belts vs bench belts
I'm not sure about the 67s and 68s, but the 69s-72s appear to be the same for bench and bucket. Nothing was used to hold the buckle end in an upright position. The console was designed with pockets to stash the buckle ends when not in use and keep them from slipping to the floor between the console and seats.

I was talking about the original setups but I can't seem to find any I've been watching eBay and the parts board haven't seen any black ones
So I guess I'm going to have to use the aftermarket ones just didn't want to put something in their that's way off thanks for the replies Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: bucket belts vs bench belts
So you're saying DON'T throw away the set of belts that came with my buckets (I'm running 3pt right now). I should mark them as "for buckets only". Thanks, I never knew there was a difference!
