Time for New Belts?

Tri-Five Chevys left the factory without belts in most cases, and restorers and restomod builders add them for safety.

Caring for Your Belts

Wipe the Tri-Five webbing with mild soap and keep the lift latch hinge free of grit.

About the Chevrolet Tri-Five

Pre-Install Checklist

Check where your Tri-Five buckets will anchor to the floor before ordering.

Good to Know

Hardware is included with this kit.

The black wrinkle buckle option suits builders who want a period look without chrome.

Bel Air, 210, 150 and Nomad owners with aftermarket buckets are the main buyers of this kit.

Seatbelt Planet notes all belt measurements have a tolerance of about one inch.

Thread color matches the webbing on many shades, such as red, tan and navy.

Lift latch buckles have the flip-up aircraft-style cover that many owners associate with 1950s cars, which is why this Tri-Five kit uses that look instead of a modern button.

Seatbelt Planet offers this Tri-Five lift latch belt kit with a Buckle Style option, letting you pick a polished chrome face or a black wrinkle finish to suit the dash and trim.

The 1955-1957 Chevrolet passenger cars, including the 150, 210, Bel Air and Nomad, mostly left the factory without belts, so adding them is common during a restoration.

Black wrinkle finish echoes the textured paint seen on many period instrument panels and valve covers, while chrome suits Bel Air cars with bright interior trim.

The Black Wrinkle finish has a crinkled texture that hides fingerprints, while the chrome face reflects the dash and shows polish.

Tri-Five owners who show their cars at judged events sometimes prefer lift latch buckles because they resemble the aftermarket belts dealers installed in the 1950s.

Webbing colors for the Tri-Five lap belt kit can be chosen to match two-tone interiors, such as red and white or turquoise and ivory.

Seatbelt Planet includes hardware with this lift latch Tri-Five kit for both front bucket seats.
