Title: New Seatbelts
Post by: sonicbluezx3 on October 18, 2011, 09:43:28 am

I am changing my interior to all black.... and my seatbelts are blue and they are pretty old, and the bottom metal part is rusty, so I would like to replace them.

Where is the best place to get them? I don't have a ton of money to spend, so the 80 dollar plus per seat belt price at   is a lot. I've been looking on ebay, discount body parts, and Replacement Auto Parts and I have found a set of two for around 95 dollars. Anyone have experience with this?

Here's a link to the ones I'm talking about:

Thanks for any help!

I would be interested as well for my 85 extended cab.

The belts are $83 per side, so $166 for a drivers and passenger side 3 point set with a starburst button.

This is the picture on the vendor's page.  Shipping is dependent on where you are.

Here is a thread on them before I started being a vendor for them:

So what is the advantage of buying those since they cost more than the first ones I posted?

No idea.  I know theses fit though.

Got the seat belts in last week while I was on vacation.... finally got to install last night. I still have to install the part on the B-Pillar, but they seem to work great from what I can tell. Do you know if there is a torque spec for the bolts?

Do you sell them for 87 Model? Mine has some kind of clear plastic that shows the guts. Not sure if its different otherwise though.

The seatbelts I sell are pretty much universal for all years.

I would torque them to about 45lb/ft
