Product Description
1968-1970 Ford Fairlane, Rear Lap Seat Belt
- Rear outboard lap belt
- All-metal push button buckle
- Non-retracting
- Hardware included
- FMVSS 209 and 302 rated
Fairlane sedans and hardtops have a generous rear bench, and the passengers back there need belts that latch reliably. This single rear lap belt for 1968-1970 Ford Fairlanes uses a fixed two-point strap and an all-metal push button buckle, with mounting hardware included.
Vehicle Fit
Seatbelt Planet lists it for Fairlanes built from 1968 to 1970, for one rear seating position. Order one per rider you want to cover. Front center belts and coupe three-point conversions are separate listings.
Choosing a Color
Fifty-two strap tones are available. A premium tier of thirteen adds a small charge. Good choices for a Fairlane include black, medium blue, red and parchment.
Why Upgrade?
Rear belts in these cars have often been ignored for half a century, tucked under the seat until they cracked. Replacing them gives passengers proper protection on cruises and trips to shows.
Maintenance
Rest the rear belts on top of the seat when unused so they are easy to find and stay clean. A barely damp towel removes most marks.
About the Ford Fairlane
Ford reshaped the Fairlane for 1968 with a longer, more sculpted body shared with the new Torino. Fastback SportsRoof coupes, formal hardtops, sedans, convertibles and wagons were all offered, with engines ranging from economical sixes to the 428 Cobra Jet.
Pre-Install Checklist
Remove the rear seat cushion and find the anchor bolt holes. Clean the threads and check the floor around them for rust before installing.
Good to Know
Hardware is in the box, so installation needs only basic hand tools.
Many Fairlanes were family cars before becoming collector cars, so the back seat may show wear from years of kids and groceries. New belts are a simple way to refresh that area.
Choose the same strap color as your front belts so the interior looks coordinated.
The push button buckle is intuitive for passengers who are not used to classic cars.
Fairlane wagons, including the Ranch Wagon and Squire, used a rear bench too; check their anchor positions before ordering. Sedan owners will usually find the factory anchors under the cushion, ready for new belts. A complete set of front and rear belts in the same shade gives the interior a finished look, and the push button buckles are easy for any passenger to use.
The push button buckle releases with a light press, so even children can unbuckle easily at the end of a ride. With matching strap colors front and rear, a Fairlane interior looks thoughtfully restored.
Rear belts in a Fairlane often have to be dug out from under the seat after decades of neglect. Pulling out the old ones is a good opportunity to clean the floor, treat any surface rust and lay new sound deadener before the cushion goes back in.
