Why New Belts Matter
Late-1960s Torinos originally used separate lap and shoulder belts, and this Type 2A layout follows that era's approach.
Keeping Them Like New
Refresh the Torino straps using a soft rag and a mild interior cleaner, and let both belts air out completely before storing the lap section in its reel.
About the Ford Torino
Ford introduced the Torino for 1968 as the upscale line of its intermediate Fairlane family, and the 1969 Torino Talladega was built for NASCAR racing.
Pre-Install Checklist
Check both front anchors and the shoulder belt mount before ordering.
Good to Know
