Fits Chevy and GMC
Our vehicle search lists this belt for 1973-1987 Chevrolet and GMC trucks with a standard cab. Crew cab and extended configurations are not covered by this listing.
Why Replace the Belts
Work trucks see a lot of in and out, and decades of use wear out webbing and retractors. A new belt restores smooth retraction and positive latching and makes the cab look cared for.
Installation Tips
Note how the old belt is mounted, inspect the cab mounting points for rust and clean the threads. Reuse the original hardware if it is in good shape, keep the webbing flat and torque each bolt securely. Test the belt before driving, or have a qualified shop install it.
