About the Chevrolet Tri-Five
Chevy's 1955 redesign brought the 265 cubic inch V8 and an egg-crate grille, followed by the 1956 refresh and the finned 1957.
Before You Install
Confirm the bucket anchor points in your Tri-Five floor pan before ordering.
Good to Know
Hardware is included.
The all metal push button style is one of the most common choices for Tri-Five builds.

Thread and plastic parts are color matched on many shades.
No photo of this Tri-Five kit is available from Seatbelt Planet; call 574-226-6676.
Chevrolet introduced its 265 cubic inch small-block V8 in the 1955 models, and that engine is a big part of why the Tri-Five cars are so widely restored today.
The 1957 Bel Air with its tailfins and gold trim is the most recognized Tri-Five, but 150 and 210 sedans, wagons and the two-door Nomad can use this bucket seat kit when fitted with buckets.
Seatbelt Planet includes the mounting hardware with this push button Tri-Five kit, so you will not need to source separate eye bolts or anchor plates for the floor.
Owners who drive their Tri-Five to shows and on weekend trips often want both front buckets belted.
Two-tone interiors in Tri-Five Chevrolets came in many combinations, and the 52-shade webbing menu lets you pick one that blends with either color.
Tri-Five floors are flat stamped steel, and anchor plates under the floor spread the load of each lap belt across a wider area.
Seatbelt Planet also offers the lift latch version of this Tri-Five bucket kit if you prefer the flip-cover buckle look.
The Nomad two-door wagon is one of the rarest Tri-Five body styles, and owners of those cars often take extra care to keep the interior period correct.
Seatbelt Planet sells this kit for the driver and passenger bucket seats, with hardware in the box.
Push button latches open with a thumb press, which many drivers find quicker than lifting a cover.
The all metal starburst face on this Tri-Five buckle gives it a bright, period-inspired look on the seat.
