Seat belt question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have 2 sets of seat belts and one has taller retractor boots than the other. What are the taller ones from ?

Check the dates of the belts if they are still together. I know the 67 year seem to be shorter than the 69 n later even on the bench seat package.

Here's a picture of the 2 side by side !

I don't think that the shorter one is from a 67 as the cover does not go all the way down to the bolt hole

Mike

I believe it would go down all the way, I just didn't want to force it, the plastic is stiff.

Here's a pic of a couple of the tags. The top on / whiter one is from the set with the taller boot.

The bottom one is from the shorter set !

Oops for got the picture !

Someone must know !

I also noticed the webbing on one has 5 bands to it and the other has 3 !!!

I just measured mine on my 67. It is eight and three quarter inches from the very bottom of the plastic to the top

**CUSTOM/10** · 03-09-2014, 06:12 PM

These are 9-3/8 and the long one is 11-3/4".

I believe the shorter set is from a 71 chevy or GMC truck. It's the long ones that I'm not sure what there from.

Van maybe ???

The three band webbing belt is from our trucks. Don't know what the other one is from.
