Seat Belt problem
I am trying to finish the interior of my 69 c10, the seatbelts that were in it did not function and were really nasty so i took them out. The problem i am having is that i want to keep it original looking and want some original seatbelts for it. I got some out of LMC, but they just dont have the original look to them. Is there a supplier that handles or carries original look and fit seat belts for this year model truck?

Re: Seat Belt problem
You can look for a nice set of used originals on the parts board. If you become a subscribing member you can also post a want to buy ad, and I'll bet someone has what you are looking for.

Re: Seat Belt problem
Just bought some from Truck Shop in Orange CA. Only come in black, but look original.

Re: Seat Belt problem
In the aftermarket I know of two suppliers. Retrobelt USA (from China) and Seatbelt Solutions

Re: Seat Belt problem
They are making the repros in black as mentioned above. I bought mine from Brothers and they are really nice. They also sell the plastic buckle covers too.

Re: Seat Belt problem
I wouldn't rely on used seat belts from 40 year old vehicles. Best thing to do is to rewebb them. A quick search came up with this one. And they have color matching. http://www.seatbeltsolutions.com/id2.html
I'd contact them and see what they say.

Re: Seat Belt problem
Lap belts are pretty much useless whether they are new or 40 years old. If the webbing looks good and you are going for originality I would have no problem using them.
