Had to toss this in here... this is more like what my seat really looks like... phone camera made it look weird... it's actually a pretty close match to the door panels.

thanks for the pics. The retractors look pretty good on those. I could go either way between the chrome buckle they offer and the GM one. The particular GM one that they offer looks more like a car buckle in my opinion. I do like the chrome buckle but have a few questions... How do you like working the chrome mechanism? is it difficult to use? and do they get hot when the truck is sitting in the sun? Thanks again.

No problem.

I think they're awesome. They just push in to click like any other seat belt. Super easy to undo, way faster than the button type. You can undo them with your pinky. They're so easy, that if you have a little one that rides with you and likes to play with things, etc, you may want to go with the button type.

I can't really answer the 2nd question, only been in the truck a couple weeks along with the new seat, and my truck is in the shade of the garage shadow in the morning before work and I'm parked under a giant oak tree at work.

My whole order (with a middle lap belt and shipping) was about $180 (make sure you order "2"... they're sold per side.... made that mistake before too...)

Again, just make sure you check the bench seat floppy ends tab, otherwise you'll get their short buckle ends that come in plastic support things (think bucket seats), and those are all black webbing where the plastic matches the color you pick... learned that lesson on my 65 Mustang... I have 4 blue seat belts with 4 black buckles. (I removed the plastic because it wouldn't "work" with my cars center hump/seats).

Also forgot to mention, you will have to bend the bracket slightly as the floor in these trucks is not a flat 90* on the side.
