i thought i heard that factory shoulder harness belts were rare? because i found a 70(i think,no front clip)with them,it was full of options,any other rare options i should look for? thanks

Longhorn Man · 07-28-2003, 06:00 PM

Plenty of rair options..
cruise control,
tilt, (kinda rare)
storage box on side of bed (again, just kinda rare)
Center seat belt,
Tach,
factory spot light,
Slide out camper bumper in back,
16.5 inch rims on a 1/2 ton,
vacume guage on a C/30 or smaller,
Door edge guards,
Cloth int (non-houndstooth)
I can't think of any more right now...

BigBlack68 · 07-28-2003, 08:36 PM

ok thanks,how much is some of this stuff worth,like center belts,shoulder harness,and a non houndstooth seat? also was looking at the firewall and noticed that it had what looked like windshield washer nozzles,are these on all trucks? thanks

All trucks came with squirters as far as I know. As for prices on shoulder belts, its hard to tell how much they are worth because they don't sell that often, just check to make double sure that they are original and not something a PO rigged up.

If it has a ratcheting 3 point seat belt, then it is owner installed. A true stock shoulder harness would be hard to sell becouse they are such a PITA to use. It is basicly like another lap belt, but bolted up on the wall of the cab...and many states say that if it is there, it will be worn.

ok thanks guys,i thought it was kinda weird that i had squrters and hoses but no tank,but if you guys say it was standard i belive you,i think the belts are original have to go check again,thanks again

A center seat belt is rare? I though they all have a center belt. Mine has one....and i think most of the other trucks i have rode in have had one too....but i don't pay too much attention to it.

Add another option to the list....a manual throttle control on the dash is also semi-rare....i have never seen one, but i think 4x4's came with them pretty often.

how bout a glovebox light or vanity mirror, my truck has both and I havent seen too many other trucks with those options either

Longhorn Man · 07-30-2003, 04:44 PM

Hooter, are either of those listed in the glove box?
never heard of those being stock.

Not arguing the PITA part but if in nice original condition, you should get a premium price for them. They are extremely rare and sought after by those wanting them for stock restos. List them on the parts board and see what I mean.

yellow72custom, all 72's have center seatbelts, prior years did not. Gov't safety regulations mandated belts for all occupants starting that year.

I didn't know that...thanks.

they aren't listed in my glovebox, but I'll take a picture of both of those options that are in my truck, they both look legit, the glovebox light wiring has its own harness that joins up with the domelight harness and the vanity mirror has a GM symbol on the back, just those $5-15 dollar options that no one ever checked off I guess
