What do you use for seatbelts? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

farside847 · 03-21-2005, 09:23 PM

My driver side belt no longer latches. Since buying new originals seems
to cost a mint, what do you guys use? Aftermarkets? What looks/works good?

There was a thread started about this over the weekend. I think the resounding answer was pretty much stealing a seatbelt kit from an S10. I just don't remember the year.

LUV2XCLR8 · 03-21-2005, 10:32 PM

I'M STILL LOOKING FOR THE PRICEY O.E. ONES, I HAVE A BRAND NEW
SET OF AFTERMARKETS STILL IN THE BOX, BLACK RETRACTABLE TYPE

I just got a pair of 3pt retractable and a center lap belt from GEM in Covina, CA. for about $170. I don't recall the price exactly. I've used belts from GEM on another project and I find them to be satisfactory. They are less cost than Juliano's and DOT approved. Plus the guy who answers the phone (I think its a one man operation) is a hoot to do business with.

**Palf70Step** · 03-21-2005, 10:52 PM

I picked up a set from a full sized C1500 for mine. sholder and lap belt combo. Works great and a little longer than the S10 belts.

mr402 · 03-21-2005, 10:52 PM

Hobby,

Do you have a link or phone # for GEM? I too am looking for a good 3 point set.

farside847 · 03-22-2005, 02:59 PM

LUV2XCLR8 - I think Ill pass on those. For some reason I just dont like
the look of them. If anyone else wants 'em go for it!

I kinda like the chrome ones.

too bad they are not restractable.

Smokin72on20s · 03-22-2005, 04:08 PM

they are technically illegal, but they blow 3pt belts out of the water! i dont use the 5 point, so they are a 4 pt harness.

Frank_Zeller · 03-22-2005, 04:22 PM

I bought these. They are very nice

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT

The black ones go for 25 more than the gray or other colors.
