Anyone know of someplace to get supercab front seatbelts?
Is there a seatbelt restoration company that anyone has used/ can recommend? The mechanism is fine, but the fabric webbing itself is shot.
I have never liked the seatbelts in my SC. My truck rides very firm, and 9 times out of 10, when I rebound from a bump in the road, the floor-mounted retractor locks and I am tightly clinched down in the seat. I then have to unlatch my seatbelt and let it retract and then rebuckle it as I'm driving down the road, only to have the same thing happen at the next bump. Argh!
I hope to change my system over to the 3-point belts used in SC's of the '80's and '90's. My quarter-mounted retractor is in about the same location as the later system, so I think it will work just fine.
I also need to mount the rear shoulder belts so I can allow the kiddos to ride back there.
I always have a bunch of little projects going on my truck, but this seatbelt issue is one of the more important ones.
I think the three point units with top and bottom retractors are unique to the 78 & 79. I have never found a reproduction of them and think your best bet is refurbishment. Anything you find at the JY will be rusted/faded like the ones you have.
