Product Description
The 1976-77 El Camino was the last of the Colonnade-era El Caminos, and most were built with a front bench seat. This Seatbelt Planet Bench Seat Kit replaces all three front belts, driver, middle and passenger, with belts made for the 1976-77 El Camino.
Seatbelt Planet's Vehicle-Specific Promise
Seatbelt Planet promises that its vehicle-specific belts meet these standards:
- The belt fits and bolts back into the original mounting location
- Your original hardware can be reused
- The correct length, not a generic belt that is too long or too short
- The right webbing color for your interior
What's in the Kit
The kit covers three people. Seatbelt Planet's specifications for its 1976-77 El Camino bench kit list three belts with metal push button buckles, combining retractable 3-point belts for the outboard seats with a non-retractable 2-point belt for the middle.
- Available in 29 webbing colors on this listing
- Meets and exceeds Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 209 and 302
- Color-matched plastic components with Red, Flame Red, Maroon, Red Wine, Tan, Desert Tan, Medium Beige, Navy, Grey and Silver webbing; Camel comes with tan components and all others with black
- Matching thread on Red, Flame Red, Maroon, Red Wine, Wine & Roses, Tan, Desert Tan, Medium Beige, Navy, Powder Blue, Cobalt, Grey and Silver; white thread on Wysteria, Lime Green, Orange, Ivory and White
- All measurements have a +/- 1" tolerance
Buckle Choices
The Buckle Style menu offers an All Metal Starburst Push Button Buckle and a Starburst Buckle. The starburst face is a classic GM look that suits a 1970s Chevrolet interior. The listing also notes a GM logo buckle option is available. Contact us if you would like that version.
Choosing a Color
Pick the webbing that best matches your El Camino's interior. Webbing in Red, Maroon, Red Wine, Navy, Tan, Desert Tan, Medium Beige, Grey or Silver comes with color-matched plastic parts, which gives the most original look.
Why Replace All Three
Doing the driver, middle and passenger belts at once keeps the color and buckles consistent across the bench and ensures every front seat has a belt that works. After more than 45 years, the original belts in many El Caminos are faded, frayed or slow to retract.
Installation Tips
Photograph the old belts before removing them and note how each end is routed. Inspect the anchor points for rust, which is common in El Camino floors, and clean the threads. Reuse the original hardware if it is in good condition, keep the webbing flat and tighten every bolt securely. Test each buckle and retractor before driving. A qualified shop can install the belts if you prefer.
