Product Description
1960-1968 Ford Falcon, Front Center Seat Belt - Lift Latch
- Front center position
- Two-point non-retractable lap belt
- Lift latch buckle
- Hardware included
Lift latch buckles give a period look to 1960s Fords, and this Falcon front center lap belt uses one. Seatbelt Planet also sells a push button version under the same name, so our title names the buckle.
Fit Details
Fits the middle of the front bench seat in 1960-1968 Falcons.
Color Choices
Fifty-two webbing shades are offered for the lift latch Falcon strap.
Time for New Belts?
Falcon restorers often want the bench to look factory, and a lift latch middle belt matches period-style outer belts.
Caring for Your Belts
Brush dust out of the lift latch hinge now and then and sponge the webbing.
About the Ford Falcon
The Falcon line ran in America through 1970, spanning sedans, wagons, hardtops, convertibles and the Ranchero and van variants.
Pre-Install Checklist
Check for the center anchor holes under the bench.
Good to Know
Hardware is included.
Lift latch buckles open by lifting the flat cover plate.
A fixed lap belt adjusts with a slide on the webbing.
Seatbelt Planet makes it to order.
Lift latch buckles were common on early 1960s Ford products, and Falcon restorers often prefer them for a correct-looking interior.
The flat lift latch cover on this Falcon middle belt opens with a lift of the fingertip, a feel many owners remember from their first car.
Falcon Futura and Sprint models had sporty interiors, and a lift latch middle belt complements their bright trim.
Seatbelt Planet stitches the lift latch Falcon strap in the webbing color you choose, and blue and red were popular original Falcon colors.
Peek under the Falcon bench before ordering to confirm the middle anchor holes are present.
A Falcon owner matching existing lift latch outer belts will want this version for a uniform bench.
Choose the push button companion listing if your outer belts use push buttons.
A 1960-1968 Falcon with lift latch outer belts looks most correct when the middle belt uses the same buckle, and this Seatbelt Planet piece is made to match that period hardware style.
Lift latch buckles on early Ford products had a flat cover that lifts up to release the tongue, and many owners prefer that mechanical feel over a push button.
Falcon Sprint and Futura interiors with bright vinyl look sharp with a middle lap belt in a matching shade, such as red, black, white or turquoise from the 52-color menu.
Ford's Falcon wagons and Ranchero pickups of the early 1960s also used front benches, so call us to confirm fit if your Falcon is not a sedan or hardtop.
If your Falcon has bucket seats, a middle bench belt will not apply.
A middle lap belt adds a practical seat for a third passenger when the Falcon is used for family outings.
