interior switch

[hotrod24]

here is my truck with the 73-76 belts but i want to switch to 78 belts i think thay are interchangeable

[hotrod24]

i have a 73-76 seat in my truck and i want to switch to 78 seat belts so would i have to find another seat to make everything match

[Captkaos]

Match how?  The seats are all the same.

[hotrod24]

so chris are you saying all i have to do is get 78 seat belts and it will be ok

[the_legend_1981]

yeah thats what he's saying.

[hotrod24]

how about the plastic cover behind the seat belt housing i know them are different

[VileZambonie]

Your shoulder harness seat belt will already have the plastic cover on it. If you want to color match you'll either have to find the same color or dye/paint them.

[hotrod24]

ok that is good would i have to switch the cover on the seat it sticks out i dont think that the seat belt would fit

[hotrod24]

is there a way to die your cloth seat belts mine are blue and i want them black or gray

[VileZambonie]

It'd be easier to dye them black. You can either use a fabric dye or use fabric paint. Just test it before you wear nice clothes and put it on. =P

[hotrod24]

ok cool

duplicolor or sem, duplicolor is cheaper and works fine.

I did the light grey seats in my monte carlo with duplicolor black and they don't rub off on you. I'd worry more about vinyl seats coming off on you or coming off period then cloth, it soaks it up. I say 2 cans maybe 3 and you're set.

As for your seat belt things justy use some prep wipes, or wax grease remover then spray them, you can use krylon on the hard plastic stuff, and you can even do the belts themselves I did.

You can also use RIT dye, found at any walmart store where the laundry detergent is.

Get a big pan (stew pot, etc.), some dye, water and drop them in per the instructions. The black is real dark too, not expensive at all either. This is for the belts, I have dyed some plastic with it but had mixed outcomes, hard to match up the colors if you do one piece at a time.

[Swims350]

well with the duplicolor and other spray dyes it's no problem to match it up it'll match right out of any can.

I had 14 cans and done each piece by itself and it all matches perfectly.

I bought several cans at a time from different stores, at different times.

I have also used the duplicolor for plastic with great results.
