Product Description
1961-1967 Ford Ranchero, Driver & Passenger, Seat Belt Kit
- Driver and passenger
- Two-point retractable lap belts
- All-metal push button buckles
- FMVSS 209 and 302 rated
The first-generation Ranchero shared its body with the Ford Falcon, and from 1961 to 1967 it offered car-like comfort with a pickup bed. This pair brings both window seats reel-fed hip straps and steel push buttons.
Where It Fits
Seatbelt Planet lists it for 1961-1967 Ford Ranchero driver and passenger positions.
Color Options
Order the pair in any of 52 colors; 13 are premium.
Why Replace Old Belts?
Ranchero bench seats often carry original belts that have dried out or lost their buckles. A new pair restores both outboard seats.
Care Tips
Wash the webbing with mild soap and let the reels take up the slack gently.
About the 1961-1967 Ford Ranchero
Ford introduced the Ranchero in 1957 on the full-size car platform, moved it to the Falcon base for 1960, and switched to the Fairlane platform for 1966-1967 models.
Pre-Install Checklist
Locate the floor anchors at each end of the bench, clean the threads and look for rust.
Good to Know
No bolts are listed with this Ranchero kit.
Seatbelt Planet sells a matching center belt for the middle seat.
Both belts are sewn to order.
Retractors keep the straps off the floor.
Ranchero owners often carry passengers to shows, so working belts matter.
A pair in the same color keeps the bench uniform.
These car-based pickups are prized classics.
This Ranchero belt is rated to federal standards 209 and 302 by its maker.
Early Rancheros use a bench seat that seats three, and the outboard positions get the most use. This kit covers both of them with retractable lap belts that tuck away when not needed.
Before ordering, check the floor under each end of the bench for rust and confirm the anchor holes are solid. Many Rancheros were used as light work vehicles, and floors took a beating.
The all-metal push button buckles match Seatbelt Planet's Ranchero center belt, so the whole bench can share one buckle style and one webbing color.
Seatbelt Planet sews both belts in one webbing color after the order is placed, so they arrive matched. The retractors keep the straps tidy on the bench.
Ranchero owners often use their trucks for light hauling to shows and swap meets, and having working belts on both window seats makes those trips more pleasant.
Seatbelt Planet also lists a three-seat kit for the later 1968-1972 Ranchero.
Early Ranchero benches are low and wide, and the retractable lap belts follow the seat contour neatly.
Many Rancheros carry a bench recovered in original-style vinyl, and matched belts finish it.
First-generation Rancheros are light and nimble, and many are driven regularly; fresh lap belts with reels make each trip neater, because the straps no longer end up wedged under the seat cushion.
