3 Seatbelts?
Ok. I need to replace the seatbelts in my `68. It currently just has two. Driver and passenger. Was 3 an option on any of these? So far all of the sets I see have 2?
Also, are any seat belts from other Chevy vehicles of about this year a match? Last edited by DoobieBrother; 08-30-2007 at 12:42 AM. |

My '70 has 3 belts, all original. I am going to remove them and put harness' in it. You can have them if you want. They are green.

Re: 3 Seatbelts?
i put three in from a 73-87 style truck. I used 1/4" plates under the cab, and because of this, i had to mount the retractor part onto the tall part of the floor.
because i also pulled off the rails on my bench seat so it would sit lower, i had to bend the retractor part out on each side so that the seat would sit in between them. I haven't had to "test" the belts yet, but i don't have any concerns since i used grade 8 bolts and the plates were each 3.5" square. the upper shoulder mount holes were already in the cab, so those are factory |

Re: 3 Seatbelts?
I found a 3 set and put them in my 68 with no problem. Youngest son was going to be the driver and wanted to make sure his passengers were secure.
ofnaman: If he doesn't want them, due to the color, I will take them. Need to add a 3rd to my 69 SWB so my wife will sit next to me.

Re: 3 Seatbelts?
I'm really more interested in black. So, I'd have to dye these. So let the next guys in line have a shot. Definitely appreciate the offer though.

Re: 3 Seatbelts?
Sorry to intrude, but burnoutnova was the first to contact me on the belts, however they may not be his color. If he does not want them I would be happy to give them to anyone on here, Just pay for the shipping.

Re: 3 Seatbelts?
I took three (green) belts out of my '68...(Odd since there was only two seats but oh well). The plastic buckles was all busted up so I didn't remove them carefully if ya know what I mean. Guess I should have thought before I cut...sorry.

Re: 3 Seatbelts?
My 67 had three on the bench seat
Personally, I would never trust any used seat belts, you have no way of knowing if they were already involved in a hit or not. They are like helmets... |
