ok i have a pickup and i see a set of seatbelts for sale on ebay and they are out of a 80s blazer.. i know i wont have the center belt but as long as they are the three point belts they will bolt in and work just like the pickup ones? same part numbers?
the hassles of changing interior colors!!

Honestly, I would never buy used seatbelts. You have no idea if they have already been involved in a wreck and have been compromised.

Look for some nice new belts or reconditioned pieces out there.

Yes, they will cost more but saving money won't mean a thing if you end up flying through the windshield

they will work just fine

So I take it you replace the seat belts in every used car you ever buy?

I know this is going to start a war but i dont use the seatbelts for anything other than to get past inspection. Years back i was trapped in a car ( old chrsyler product from the early seventies) and back then i didnt know anything about cars as i was just a kid.. the radiator started smoking as the result of an accident and i couldnt get out of the seatbelt. i dont care what laws and statistics you show me I refuse to wear one. I know of several people who were killed wearing seatbelts including one who burned alive and several who escaped death as a result of NOT wearing a seatbelt also I just want a set that matches the new color of the interior. The center one may be used if i wind up taking the granddaughter in the truck for something as she has to have a baby seat.(therefore for now i would leave the red seatbelt and put the grey ones in on the sides)
My wife due to her cancer surgery cannot wear a seatbelt either as she has an illeal conduit that would be in the way of the seatbelt
I was just wanting to know if they would bolt in and work for inspection purposes, but I do appreciate everyone's input and thoughts and thank everyone for them

Rusty I feel the same way you do and I only wear mine when I absolutely have to. And I hope your wife gets Better.

she had her surgery last april 13 and so far is cancer free. they do say it has a high reoccurance rate but so far shes doing ok 5 years is the magic number if she makes that cancer free she should be ok. they did take out her bladder and gave her a conduit to urinate from so she has to wear a bag now . They also removed 10 lymphnodes and all her female parts , so she has to be careful and all and a belt could hurt her

Honestly, if you're going to go out of your way to buy seatbelts, spend a few extra dollars and get something new. Think about the reason you'd find used seatbelts for sale anyway, there is a VERY good chance they came out of a mangled vehicle that has been parted out.
