Product Description

- Driver bucket
- Retracting lap and shoulder belt
- All-metal push button buckle

Keeping the original fuel tank behind the seat is part of many stock GMC restorations, and this Seatbelt Planet driver belt is designed around it. For the left bucket of a '68-'72 GMC regular cab, it supplies a reel-type shoulder belt, a metal push button and the mounting bolts.
Fit Details
Seatbelt Planet lists it for the driver bucket of 1968-1972 GMC standard cab pickups that still have the gas tank in the cab.
Color Choices
Driver-side webbing can be any of 52 shades, a baker's dozen of them premium. Factory GMC interiors of the period came in colors such as black, red, blue, green and saddle.
Time for New Belts?
The tank limits the room behind the seat, so a belt made for that layout mounts without crowding it. Replacing the driver belt first also makes sense because it is the one used every trip.
Caring for Your Belts
Guide the shoulder strap back into the reel instead of letting it snap, and wipe off road dust with a damp cloth.
About the 1968-1972 GMC Truck
Most 1967-1972 GMC pickups left the factory with the tank inside the cab, a design both GM truck brands moved away from with the 1973 redesign. Owners restoring a truck to original condition often keep it.
Pre-Install Checklist
Fold the seatback ahead to see the floor bolt and the high mount beside the tank. Clean the threads and inspect for rust or damage.
Good to Know
The passenger with-tank belt is sold separately.
Since bolts come in the package, worn or mismatched originals can be retired.
Order the passenger with-tank belt in the same color to complete the cab.
A driver belt is often the most worn belt in any classic truck because it sees every trip.
Seatbelt Planet makes the belt to order.
GMC trucks of this generation used the same basic cab as their Chevrolet counterparts, but many owners want parts listed specifically for the GMC so the fitment is clear. Seatbelt Planet lists this belt under GMC for that reason.
If you plan to relocate the tank in the future, choose a no-tank belt instead, since the mounting points differ.
The tank's filler neck sits near the door on many of these trucks, so route the shoulder strap so it does not rub the filler area.
