Lift latch buckles were a common sight in early sixties Fords, and this Seatbelt Planet Falcon kit brings them back with modern retractable webbing. Each front rider gets a reel-mounted hip strap with a flip-up latch, and bolts come too.
Vehicle Fit
Listed for 1960-1968 Ford Falcon front driver and passenger positions.
Choosing a Color
There are 52 strap shades, a baker's dozen of them premium. A lift latch looks especially sharp against a dark strap.
Why Upgrade?
Period-style lift latch buckles help a restored Falcon look right, while new webbing and retractors replace worn or missing originals.
Maintenance
Raise and close each latch now and then to keep it moving freely, and polish the cover with a soft dry cloth.
About the Falcon, 1960-1968
The Falcon's simple unibody design, economical six-cylinder engines and later V8 options made it a popular compact. Sprint and Futura models added sporty and upscale touches.
Before You Install
Find the four front floor anchors, chase the threads and check the pans under the carpet for rust.
Good to Know
Lift latch buckles on both belts.
Seatbelt Planet makes a version with metal push button buckles too.

Both belts are sewn in the same color after ordering.
Retractors keep the straps from tangling under the seat.
Add Seatbelt Planet's rear Falcon kit to match the back seat.

Falcon restorers chasing an early-sixties look often prefer lift latch hardware because it matches the chrome accents on the dash and door panels.
Bench and bucket seat Falcons share the same front outboard seating positions, so the kit covers the two window seats either way.
Pair the front kit with a lift latch rear kit for a consistent look throughout the cabin.
Hardware is part of the kit. Clean the front anchor threads and check the floor pans before fitting.
Lift latch belts were common dealer accessories in the early sixties, which is why they suit early Falcons so well.
A Falcon with matching front and rear lift latch belts looks especially tidy at classic car events.
Seatbelt Planet sews the kit to order once you check out.
