CA Saddle colored seat belts for 75 Blazer/Burb - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**MisterC** · 03-01-2012, 01:04 AM

I have a very nice set of seat belts that came in a box when I purchased my '66. I think the PO intended to use these, but never did. My limited research indicates that they came on the blazer or burbs this year with buckets.

I'm including several shots. Some minor surface pitting on the chrome, but it should buff out with some 0000 steel wool. Some minor scuffing on the boots but the retractors work perfectly. All buckles work great as well. $100 shipped for the set.

If these where the factory red color i would be all over them good luck man

I believe only the K/5s would still be lap belts,due to having a removable top. The Suburbans should be 3pt shoulder/lap belts like trucks. And,Suburban floors are humped up where the seat belts mount,where K/5s are flat (different style retractors and longer). The date of manufacture will be on the tag

There you have it. Thanks for clarifying the application for me. I can't change the title of the thread, but these would have come stock on only the K/5's. Thank you!

You mean I was right??!! Hah,I just changed my '72 interior to saddle this weekend. I was digging out my saddle belt stash comparing the date dates to pair them up and saw I had some that were '73. So,those were for a K/5. I've never had a 73-75 K/5 and it never occurred to me that they would not have had shoulder straps.
Nice belts,BTW
