WIW - Red Seat Belts W/Shoulder Harness

[7dee2]

I purchased these over 15 years ago, and they have been sitting in the original shipping box, waiting for the day. Well, the time is here, and we are not doing a red interior!

So do you have a price in mind I maybe interested

[7dee2]

I'm not entirely sure, which is why I posted here.

I have a few other red interior pieces and have been thinking about an interior bundle deal. I’ve got these take-off covers with NIB foams. Two sets of red visors (bright red & a darker red), as well as a console that I can post as well if there is interest.

Here are a couple of pics of the covers before removal.

No after see the reds colors are not the same for the seat belt I’m going to pass

No problem, I’m looking for what they’re worth. I do think I’ll explore selling the parts as a bundle first. Save someone a lot of searching.




It’s been a long time, and I’d forgotten that the shoulder belts are a different webbing. Additionally, red is challenging to capture in a good picture. Here are current photos of all the belts. And pics of the visors I mentioned earlier. Lap belts, visors (which need a good cleaning), and seat covers are all a good color match. Shoulder harnesses are close in color but have different webbing. Personally, I thought it was cool that they are there. You never see OE-style shoulder harnesses. Help valuing these belts and the package would be most helpful. TIA

Tough to be certain of the shade of red in a photograph, sometimes. It depends upon the flash and other lighting. That console for example looks a lot more red than the reds that were offered.

If you were to sell as a package you'd get a lot of interest, it would look great in a black or a white truck in particular.

The biggest problem with original style 3 point seat belts for our trucks is that the shoulder belts don't let you move freely and then retract as you sit back. They are very restrictive. That is why many want our style buckles with newer style retracted.

Seats look fantastic

I agree 100%, I’d planned on building a black w/red interior truck most the time I’ve owned it. Somehow, while the truck was in the body shop jail, my wife played the “It’s my turn to pick” card! So, she chose all the colors for this project.

Yeah, early tech. I’m guessing that’s why you don’t see them much, more of a vintage resto thing.

Thanks, the seats were really nice, but the OE foam was deteriorating. I was concerned they’d fall apart once we put them into service.

I can't give you a specific number, but if they were mine I'd post the set for every cent I had in it - adjust for inflation or whatever - and yes I'd add some on top for the time it took to assemble it.

If I saw this all at a swap meet as a package, I'd have a hard time walking away without all of it.

Good luck!

Thank you Dave. I appreciate your thoughts.
