Factory shoulder belts? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BLAZERMAN · 08-21-2003, 11:05 PM

I am looking at buying a 72 suburban in another state and the guy emailed me some pics, it surprised me to see it had the shoulder belt option, I know these were rare on trucks but were they more popular on burbs?

BLAZERMAN · 08-21-2003, 11:10 PM

some nice options.

Rod · 08-21-2003, 11:25 PM

Yep... them are the real belts... and there on my parts wanted list Rod.

I saw a set in a suburban the other day and the shoulder belt was only on the drivers side the passenger side was a retractable one like a regular truck.
I think they were that way due to the third door configuration.
Maybe some of the burb guy's can straighten me out on this.

dunno about you but I would buy that just for the options....

Thought I would point out that the glove box model # says that it is a 1970 Suburban not 1972, and the front to rear roof A/C was last used in 1971.

OOOPS, GMC Paul is right, I have been looking at a few different ones and got the years mixed up.
