A three-across GMC bench with the fuel tank moved out of the cab can carry a full set of modern belts, and this Seatbelt Planet kit supplies it. Driver and passenger get retractable three-point lap and shoulder belts, the middle rider gets a lap belt, and a Buckle Style option lets you choose the latch you prefer.
Vehicle Fit
Listed by Seatbelt Planet for 1968-1972 GMC pickups without the in-cab gas tank, covering the driver, passenger and center seating positions.
Choosing a Color
All belts are made in one of 52 webbing colors, 13 of them premium. Choose a shade that suits the bench or contrasts with it for a custom look.
Why Upgrade?
Center positions in these trucks were often skipped or removed decades ago. Adding a full set lets the truck carry three people properly, and shoulder straps on the outboard seats are a meaningful step up from original lap belts.
Maintenance
Keep the center lap belt buckled across the cushion when not in use so it does not slip into the seat crease, and clean all three straps at the same time.
About the 1968-1972 GMC Pickup, Tank Relocated
GMC trucks of 1968-1972 were sold as Fenderside and Wideside pickups, with options ranging from basic work trim to Sierra Grande comfort. Many of today's survivors have had the fuel tank relocated during restoration.
Before You Install
Confirm the tank is gone from behind the seat, then find the floor anchors for all three positions and the upper shoulder mounts. Clean every thread and inspect for rust.
Good to Know
Buckle Style choice adds flexibility.
The Buckle Style menu has two choices; Seatbelt Planet adds a charge for the second.
With the tank gone, the back wall has space for the outboard retractors without crowding the seatback.
A center lap belt keeps the middle seat usable for a third rider on short trips.
Seatbelt Planet sews each belt to order in your chosen color.
Trucks used for parades or hayrides benefit from having every bench position belted.
Because both outboard retractors mount where the tank once sat, the shoulder straps can run cleanly over each rider without rubbing the seatback.
Restorers sometimes fit this kit after converting the truck to a frame-mounted tank, a popular safety change on these GMCs.
A full set suits a classic truck that carries the whole family.
