About the 1968-1972 Ford Ranchero
Ranchero GT and Squire models of this era offered sporty and woodgrain trims, and big-block engines were available.

Find the floor and upper anchors for all three seats and clean the threads.
Good to Know
Hardware included.
Seatbelt Planet sews the kit to order.
Check the photo for the middle routing.
Three matched belts look sharp in a restored Ranchero.
GT owners often pick colors that complement the stripes.
Shoulder belts are welcome on highway drives.
These Rancheros are popular classic car show entries.
For the record, the maker lists FMVSS 209 and 302 compliance on the three-belt kit.
The 1968-1972 Ranchero shared its interior with the Torino and Fairlane, so the bench is wide enough for three riders. Shoulder belts on every seat are a big step up from the original lap belts.
Before ordering, check the floor and upper anchor points for each seat and confirm they are solid. Shoulder belts need a strong upper mount.
Squire models with woodgrain trim and GT models with stripes both look sharp with color-matched belts that pick up the interior.
Seatbelt Planet makes the full kit once you order, in a single webbing color.
Retractors keep each strap pulled up out of the way when the seat is empty, so the cab stays tidy and the belts are easy to find when riders climb in.
Hardware is included with the kit, which saves time hunting for the right bolts. Study the image before ordering.
Seatbelt Planet also lists Ranchero belts for the earlier 1961-1967 trucks, but this kit is for the Torino-based years.
Bench seat Rancheros of these years are the most common layout.
Big-block Ranchero GTs are fast cars, and shoulder belts make sense.
Ranchero 500 and GT benches from these years were often finished in bright vinyl, so color-matched belts help the cab look complete.
Fresh belts on all three seats are worth having.
The Torino-based Ranchero is roomy enough for three adults, and shoulder belts on every position give the truck a far more modern feel without changing the look of the bench.
