New seat belts.
« on: June 12, 2009, 03:18:11 pm »
Hello Guys, my truck is a 78 k20 with bench seat, I'm getting new belts. I have looked at some sites and prices, and they range from 229 (brothers trucks) to 65 (trubelt). Does anybody have any experience with installing new belts? what belts are better and are easier to install ? I'm all ears if you recommend some other brands.  8)

They fit pretty well under the stock plastic? Also, on their website it looks like they don't sell a tan color, just grey, blue, and black.

I used them as is from retrobelt. the factory plastic housing and belt were scrapped. The belts roll up nicely in the retrobelt plastic housing.
