Need 67 center belt measurement - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Can someone measure the total length of a 1967 center seat belt?
Actually any year would probably work, but would be curious to know if the 67 matches the length of the later center belts too.

My 67 didn't have a center belt. I got one from another year, 70 or 71 maybe. If no one has answered for you by tommorow afternoon, I'll measure what I put in there for you.

The later model green was a pretty close match to my 67 blue, I think sun fading helped. The male center belt is about 28", couldn't get precise, the seat didn't want to move forward. i pulled the female end all the way out to the stop and got about 34", and here's a photo in case you weren't aware of the differences in 67 and later belts.

Great so you are looking at about 62" in total length correct? Any problems with that not being long enough?

It's been long enough for 9 and 12 yr old girls. Hadn't thought about it for adults. I just went and sat there, and was way plenty of room for me. I'm 6 ft and well fed.

Great. I am putting it in my dump truck and once in a blue moon the kids like to ride to the dump with me. Might have a booster seat in the middle and I think the 62" would be fine.
