Looking for which vehicles, (any make, car or truck), that have the seat belts integrated to seat. I am working on a 56 panel truck and this type of seat would eliminate any seat belt mounting issues.
Thanks,
James

 

I am using seat from a late model trail blazer in my 48.They have integrated seat belts are upolstered in leather with the colors I wanted.
Really comfy seats.I am sure that there are many more seats that will work also.

 

I also have the trailblazer seats in my 55 pickup. They do not fit all that well as the back are pretty thick due to the extra strength required for the seat belt. That makes me have to have them pretty far forward to have the back tilt to a comfortable angle. Mine might be thicker than some other trailblazer seats due to side air bags, not sure on that part. They would work great in your panel.

 

Good to have you join us and nice to see another panel truck resurected and a 56 to boot, would like to see pictures. I'm using buckets from a 93 mercury villager van and have incorperated the seat belts to fit my panel. I have pictures in my gallery I believe, my panel is still under construction at the moment but starting to see the final stages, just need to find the fast forward button. I know I put it some place

 

I don't know about specific fitment, but if youre looking for something late-model in general, just about all supercab pick-ups, at least in the 2000's, have integrated seatbelts. I have oil field company trucks changing seating all the time, and the larger salvage yards usually keep and inventory seats usually ten years back from current. A+ condition expect to pay around $150, but you get something you can buy parts easily for if something breaks in the process of adapting.

 

Thats also one of the things I find myself doing when the new models come out. I think to myself, that radio has symmetry that would adapt well to a custom dash, or those round polished-satin looking A/C vents would look cool...etc

 

Oh, and another thing, while we're on the topic (and I need to up my post count, auto parts stores have generic adaptable lap belt seatbelts that look OE for cheap. You just have to ask someone who's worked there awhile who would know where to look. Make sure you bolt them up securely with suspension grade hardware someplace that wont break off if you do have an accident!

 

thanks for all the responses. I will get some pics of the pieces and maybe I can find some pics of the whole truck when I got it some ten years ago. I also found out that some of the late 90s & up chrysler sebring convertibles have the integrated belts.

 

Check out early 2000 Tahoe's. I have one with intergrated seat belts and thin backs. I was just looking at them thinking.... How mad would the wife get if her seats disappeared.

 

Chrysler Sebring convertibles have belts built into the sides of the head-rests. I don't know about fitment, but I don't see why they wouldn't work.

 

I think you'll find most modern convertibles have the belts integrated into the front bucket seats. Another place to look.

Any of the extended cab pickups have the integrated seatbelts.

 

Most seats have the lap belts integrated, but mid fifty sells shoulder belt mounting hardware that makes mounting the shoulder belt easy and properly located. Please don't use lap belts without shoulder belts.

I have conversion van captains chairs in my 56 panel (see gallery) I would suggest some sort of bucket seats to allow access to the rear of the panel.
