Shoulder belts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm going to splurge and buy some shoulder belts for my truck. Who carries them? I'd like something that replicates the original style if possible.

I've been looking for the same thing in a blue or white but all that I see is the black belts. I seen some shoulder belts in several different colors for 68-up corvette coupe at www.ecklers.com that I thought could be adapted to a 67-72 chevy truck. Does anyone have access to a 68-72 corvette that could look and see if they would bolt in or could be modified to fit.

I recently installed the 2 point version of these in my dads truck. Very easy to install and can't beat the price!. The center belts are a little too short so I had to buy some angle brackets ($1.69 or so each) from Home Depot and massage them to extend the mounting point to reach up thru the seat. I would recommend the Juliano's anchor plate ($15 for the pair) to mount the retractors. They turned out awesome!. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...935575642&rd=1

Ok could someone post a link to the items..dial up sucks trying to surf sites for a correct part.

I'm looking for factory shoulder belts or a real - real close replica.

I'd like Green or Black.

I'm on dial-up also. AFAIK, Rick's Pickup Parts website only allows access to their catalog thru a download.

Yeah, I'm looking for new factory replica type shoulder belts as well. Anymore suggestions for suppliers?

70c10 · 11-28-2004, 11:56 PM

I didn't think lap or shoulder replicas were available. The ones I saw when looking look like new generic belts. I would love to see a pic of either style recently purchased to see how they look.

Harold Shepard · 11-29-2004, 06:15 PM

They are available, but they are made with the newer style webbing. The set I have is made exactly like the originals were with the exception of the web design, originals were a three row pattern and these have a five row pattern. To avoid looking different I bought new lap belts and they have the same pattern as the shoulder belts. As far as I know they are available in all colors - you might try truck shop in crossville tenn, I think the address is [email]trucks72@thetruckshop.com not sure and I will look it up in a minute, and also snakeoyl products as well as cheyenne superman. I bought mine from Jerry Brown in crossville, they came in GM packaging etc. very nice reproductions!!!
