CA Shoulder Belts on a budget - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

KrazyRay · 12-28-2012, 03:51 PM

I picked these up in a parts lot and I think they are early square body, but look similar to the correct ones. I don't know what color they are kinda a tan color. There is one female belt included. They will need to be washed.
$32 shipped.
Thanks,
Ray

Am i missing something? Aren't these the real deal? $32?

The only difference on these is the recessed dimple on the boots is horizontal as opposed to vertical. I have seen several restored 67-72 show trucks with this version of the boots.

The horizontal dimpled belt retainers were available as early as 1972 for sure, possibly '71.

The dimple in the 1967 shoulder belt boots are vertical made to fit the vertical slot in the {chrome} male end of the buckle unit.
In 1968-72 the slot was turned horizontal on the male end of the buckle unit, so the shoulder belt boot had to follow suit

rats.....That was a good deal dang it!

This makes sense...but I see Woody has a set of 69 red shoulder belts for sale, and they have the vertical dimple as well. My shoulder belts came from a 68 and also have the vertical dimple. It is a subtle difference that I do not think most people would even notice.
