ok I'll ask, what are chute buckles?

ETsC10 · 02-16-2011, 11:16 PM

67sss, I believe Robert is referring to the (67 only) seatbelt buckles.
Too bad too, I believe you sold a set in the past day or two.

Keep looking Robert, they crop up every so often.

Irving air chute company made the buckles for the military in the second world war for their parachutes. They were commissioned by GM in 1967 to proivide the buckles for their seat belts, hence "chute" buckles. Today, they make the chute system on the space shuttles.

Is this what you need?
just the male chrome ends, no webbing.

If so you can have them, but I'm looking for a small part also that I hope you may have.

Robert Paul Thomas · 03-07-2011, 02:57 PM

Its been so long since I looked at mine, I will have to check if these are correct for 67 only

Robert Paul Thomas · 03-07-2011, 02:57 PM

**burb71** · 03-07-2011, 04:00 PM

This is the male end, do you need the female end?

Robert Paul Thomas · 03-07-2011, 05:10 PM

No, this is the right end, just cannot remember if it is right for the chute buckle

**burb71** · 03-07-2011, 06:04 PM

Robert Paul Thomas · 03-07-2011, 07:27 PM

Ok, after me putting you through all of that, you right, those are the ones I need. What is it I may help you with??

**too much stuff** · 03-07-2011, 07:31 PM

Just to confirm, those look like 67 belts to me...

**burb71** · 03-08-2011, 01:45 PM

I need all the little brackets tacked on the rear axle to hold the brake line down.
You can still have the 2 seat belt parts even if you dont have what I need.

Robert Paul Thomas · 03-08-2011, 05:07 PM

I don't have, but let me see what I can do,...oh Eric!!

Robert Paul Thomas · 03-08-2011, 05:09 PM

Oh, and thanks very much for the buckles, anytime I can return the favour, just ask. Let me know what shipping will be to Michigan 49783

**burb71** · 03-08-2011, 07:47 PM

All you need are the 2 chrome ends right? its from a set off shoulder harnesses so I'm keeping the webbing so I know the correct size to remake for my truck.
