- Driver and passenger lap belts

- FMVSS 209 and 302 rated
Some owners want the clean look of lap belts that match the original style of a 1968-1972 GMC pickup, but with reels that keep the straps tidy. Here Seatbelt Planet pairs two reel-mounted hip belts, each closing with a steel push button, for the two window ends of a bench in a tank-equipped cab.
Fitment Notes
Fitment covers the left and right bench seats of regular cab GMC trucks, model years 1968 to 1972, that retain the seatback fuel tank.
Available Colors
Pick from 52 webbing colors, 13 premium. Lap belts are visible across the seat cushion, so a color that matches the bench vinyl blends best.
Why New Belts Matter
A retractable lap belt pulls the strap out of the way when unbuckled, unlike fixed lap belts that end up tangled in the seat crack. It is also the natural choice where the tank leaves little room for a shoulder belt reel up high.
Keeping Them Like New
Pull the belt out fully once in a while to clean the whole length, and keep crumbs and grit away from the retractor opening.
About the 1968-1972 GMC Pickup, Tank Behind Seat
The second-generation GMC pickups carried bench seats in most trucks, often with vinyl upholstery in colors keyed to the paint. Gas tanks in the cab were factory equipment, which is why lap belts suit stock restorations.
Pre-Install Checklist
Locate the two floor anchors for each outboard position and clean the threads. Check the floor pan for rust, especially under old rubber mats.
Good to Know
Center belt not included.
Retracting lap belts give a period-correct look without the loose straps that fixed belts leave behind.
Seatbelt Planet sews both belts in the color chosen at checkout.
Owners who later relocate the tank can move to three-point belts using Seatbelt Planet's no-tank listings.
Lap belts are a common pick for stock-appearing trucks shown at classic truck events.
The listing names the driver and passenger positions, so a center rider needs a separate belt.
Two-point belts were the norm when these trucks were new, so this kit keeps the cab honest to its era while replacing worn hardware with fresh parts.
Drivers who use the truck for parades or slow cruises often find lap belts more comfortable on a bench where everyone slides around.
