Seatbelt Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*79 silverado* · 07-14-2012, 04:27 PM

Who here has run aftermarket seatbelts in their truck for any length of time? How has the belt material held up as far as fraying or fading?

I am contemplating getting some from LMC Truck to get 3 point shoulder belts into my new '76 as a replacement/upgrade for the factory lap-only belts but question their durability for something so important for safety.

I do have some belts removed from a 78 or 79 parts truck (dont recall which year it was off the top of my head) but wonder whether I am better off with old used belts, or new aftermarket since I suppose they could in theory weaken over time.

Thoughts or experiences, suggestions for either route?
