1967 seat belts

[michael bustamante]

Well as we all know 1967 has one year only seat belts, From researching on the thread, It looks like some belts were retactable while some were not, Mine are retactable,
These are out of my 1967custom cab, they have the bowtie on the latch assy.
I have noticed that 60-66 no retacting belts are similar but do not have the bowtie on them (weird)
they are red with good webbing but the exposed parts are sunfaded, Chrome on these is good with no pitting at all, latches work great as do the retactors, WIW?

I'm working on getting a set and posted some questions about them just recently. Longhorn Man said they didnt come with recoil belts. The one I found in a local yard had belts with the recoils as you said. I wonder if this was an add on for later builds. Just thought I'd respond to your post and say you are not alone in your find!
