I don't think the dye in an aerosol can would work on the actual belts, since they are fabric and flex everytime you use them. Maybe something like RIT dye (for clothes) would work better?

Good idea!

joe231 · 10-29-2009, 10:43 AM

I don't know if the RIT dye will work very well, most seat belts aren't very absorbent.
I believe I have read that the SEM aerosol is for fabric also...I will have to do some research....

From what I have heard your not supposed to dye the belts at all it screws up the integrity.

JohnC · 11-04-2009, 10:17 AM

How would it affect the integrity?

Yeah..how?

Anyhow, I'm trying to be more 'legal' than safe... It's the only old trucks I have that actually needs the seatbelts to be legal.

Did you get your cab molding mounted Joe?

jchav62 · 11-04-2009, 03:32 PM

Not yet. Hopefully sometime this weekend. I have the stuff, I just haven't made the time... JC

jchav62 · 11-09-2009, 02:34 PM

I got the cab molding on this Saturday. Looks good! No pics as of yet...but it really cleans up the paint line. I drilled and bolted in the corner pieces and then used 3M trim tape for the long piece. Works great! I'll post some pics when I have them...

JohnC · 11-10-2009, 10:22 AM

Cool can't wait to see it.

Tx Firefighter · 11-10-2009, 10:21 AM

I've dyed a lot of seat belts. Get a bottle of RIT dye from the grocery store and boil the seat belts in hot dye water on the kitchen stove in a giant stew pot.

I thought about doing that at one time. I almost bought a red carpet that was in very good shape, but I rolled it out and it ended up being for a 4X4. Had a hole cut out for the t-case shifter. I ended up buying a couple rolls of black 'automotive' carpet that they sell at Walmart. It's actually holding up pretty good.

Good to know. I'll try that...

joe231 · 11-10-2009, 04:14 PM

I got a nice and free carpet that will fit my truck but it is blue, and the '80's interior is red....so I need to dye it

JohnC · 11-10-2009, 04:29 PM

Whoa whoa whoa you have a blue carpet, and I have a blue truck. Hmmmm what should we do here.

joe231 · 11-10-2009, 05:08 PM

jchav62 · 11-17-2009, 04:51 PM

Went out and finally snapped a few shots of my cab molding...

joe231 · 11-17-2009, 04:55 PM

Nice!!
that looks good!

JohnC · 11-17-2009, 05:13 PM

That does look good man! Great work. The truck is really taking shape!!

jchav62 · 11-18-2009, 11:32 AM

Thanks guys.

It actually looks a lot better in person. My little cheapy camera that I used doesn't take very good pics. I may post some better pics with a better camera later on...

flamingbig10 · 11-18-2009, 12:03 PM

looks a lot better now, I sure do like the color of the white and green together

It's been awhile since I posted anything...

I got my windows tinted. Also, I've recently scored a good deal on a low mileage 400.

I'll be dropping that in to replace the oil burning 350.

Soon.

silvereagle07 · 01-13-2010, 10:45 AM

It looks really clean with the cab molding installed. Looking good!
