Restorers who keep the factory fuel tank behind the seat of a 1968-1972 GMC pickup still want the driver held by a modern three-point belt. Seatbelt Planet offers this driver-side bench belt for exactly that layout. You get a reel-fed hip and chest strap ending in a steel push button latch, plus the bolts.
Fitment
Seatbelt Planet lists it for the driver seating position of 1968-1972 GMC standard cab pickups with a bench seat and the in-cab tank still in place.
Webbing Colors
There are 52 webbing colors to pick from, 13 of them premium. Darker colors such as black, dark blue or saddle hide work grime well on a driver's belt.
Why Replace?
The driver seat sees the most use, so its belt usually wears out first. Frayed edges, a buckle that sticks, or a strap that will not retract are all signs it is time to replace it, and a three-point belt adds shoulder protection the original lap belt lacked.
Belt Care
Do not hang keys or tools on the buckle, and clean the strap with a damp cloth and mild soap. Let the reel take the webbing back slowly rather than letting it snap.
About the 1968-1972 GMC Pickup with In-Cab Tank
GMC's 1968-1972 trucks shared their cab with Chevrolet but carried GMC-specific grilles, hood emblems and trim. Fuel tanks behind the seat were factory practice in these cabs, and owners chasing a correct restoration often keep them.
Before You Install
With the bench tipped forward, locate the floor anchor and the upper shoulder mount on the driver side near the tank. Run a tap through each threaded hole and inspect the surrounding sheet metal.
Good to Know
Hardware comes with the belt.
Seatbelt Planet separates with-tank and without-tank versions because the tank occupies the area behind the seatback where a reel would otherwise go.
Ordering the driver belt now and the passenger belt later works fine, as long as you note the color you chose.
Owners who drive their GMC to work every day often replace the driver belt first and save the other seats for later.
A belt sewn to order in your selected color keeps the cab looking factory-fresh while adding a shoulder strap.
Stock-appearing trucks earn points at classic truck shows when the belts look clean and match the interior.
