What Color Are Your Seat Belt Buckles?
My seat belt buckles are black. I have noticed in the wrecking yard that some of the seat belts have a chrome buckle. I don't seem to see any rhyme or reason. Is there a reason why some are black and others are chrome?

In my 85 F-350 XLT, my tan seatbelts have the silver buckle. I don't know if it is a 'XLT' specific thing or not. I too have noticed they are either silver or black but never really paid attention to the trim level.

It's the manufacturer of the seat belts.
American Safety, TRW, etc... are a few off the top of my head.
It's the Color of the webbing material that mattered with trim levels, not the buckle.
Black was standard seatbelt webing. Color coordinated seat belts were optional, standard on higher optional trim levels.
XL was the second trim level above the baseline model.

My 1981 Custom has optional for custom, Nutmeg Belts (which match the interior), with chrome buckles.
Mine were manufactured by American Safety.
The manufacture of the seat belt is on the back of the buckle, or on the tag on the shoulder belt, Retract the belt all the way to read the tag.
