Product Description
1968-1972 Chevrolet Pickup, Standard Cab, Driver, Bucket Seat Belt - with Gas Tank
- Driver bucket
- Retractable lap and shoulder belt
- All-metal push button buckle
- For trucks with the in-cab gas tank
- FMVSS 209 and 302 rated
Trucks that keep their original in-cab fuel tank need a belted around it, and this Seatbelt Planet driver belt is made for that layout. Made for the left bucket of a '68-'72 standard cab, it pairs a reel-fed shoulder strap with a metal push button and arrives with bolts.
Where It Fits
Seatbelt Planet lists this belt for the driver bucket seat of 1968-1972 Chevrolet standard cab pickups with the gas tank behind the seat.
Color Options
Webbing is offered in 52 colors on Seatbelt Planet's chart, 13 of them specialty shades. Original truck interiors of these years came in colors like black, red, blue, green and saddle, and the chart covers each.
Why Replace Old Belts?
With the fuel tank sitting behind the seat, there is limited room for retractors and shoulder anchors. A belted for that layout mounts cleanly without crowding the tank, and it replaces lap-only or worn aftermarket belts on the driver side, where use is heaviest.
Care Tips
Let the shoulder belt wind back slowly rather than snapping it, and keep it out of the door opening. Wipe the strap with a damp cloth when it collects dust from the job site or the road.
About the 1968-1972 Chevrolet Pickup
Most 1967-1972 Chevy pickups were built with the fuel tank inside the cab behind the seat back, a layout that remained standard through 1972 before the 1973 trucks moved it outside the cab. Many owners restoring a stock truck keep the original tank location.
Before You Install
Tilt the seat back forward to see the area around the tank. Locate the floor anchor and the upper mounting point for the shoulder section, chase the threads, and look for rust or damaged sheet metal near each hole.
Good to Know
A matching passenger belt is listed separately.
Owners keeping a stock fuel setup will appreciate a belted around it.
Order the passenger belt in the same color for a matched cab.
Trucks driven daily see the most wear on the driver belt, and replacing it first is a sensible step if you are refreshing the cab in stages.
Seatbelt Planet sells the matching passenger belt for trucks with the tank, so the two sides can share a color.
A two-belt kit for the same configuration is also listed if both sides need attention.
Keep any original hardware you remove, even though new bolts are supplied, in case a specific bolt length is needed for your cab.
