Can someone explain the differences between the seat belts that OER sells vs Motor City

Both appear to be period correct looking ? The blue button on the OER set doesn't appear to have the GM logo but that can be switched out fairly easily.

Trying to justify the cost delta - OER $430 vs Motor City $650

thanks

The OER belts all use the same buckle while the Motor City rear belts have a different style buckle which I believe is oem accurate.

Any reason the Motor City belts would not work in a truck instread of a Blazer/Jimmy?

If you have bucket seats I see no reason they would not work. I did not see a non-retractable center belt for a bench with the same style buckle as the front seats on the Motor City website.
A Blazer owner should correct me if wrong about rear seat in a Blazer using the different style buckles. Believe Mark at K5 is offering what is correct for the Blazer.

The buckle in the OER picture look pretty darn close to factory

Does anyone have OER or Motor City Belts in their vehicle ?
