Seat Belts????

What is the stanard or normal length for seat belts? I'm going to be adding them to my 64.

If original belts are not an issue, got tired of shutting the door on the darn belt and went to retractable. Anyhow, food or thought.

I added a set from my '74 donor, which are retractable and fit right in. I did have to notch the mounting tab on the inboard belts.

I hate retractable belts with a passion, especially the self locking ones, always feels like my liver is being cut in half.

Passenger Car/Truck/Bronco & Econoline lap seat belts of this vintage did not have built in retractors, but it was available as a separate accessory.

C4AZ62611A06A .. Seat Belt Retractor Kit-Use with front lap seat belts / Obsolete/Reproduced...available from dearbornclassics.com.

Y'all with the '64/72 Ford truck parts catalog, take a look-see here: Illustration Section 600, Page 7, upper pic = There it is.

The lower pic shows the bucket seats and etc for Rangers.
