Caring for Your Belts
Avoid slamming the strap in the door, clean it with gentle soap and lukewarm water, and let the reel rewind it slowly.
About the 1971-1976 Ford Gran Torino
The Gran Torino became a pop culture icon in the seventies, and its Sport and Elite variants gave buyers a more stylish take on the midsize Ford.
Pre-Install Checklist
Find where the upper anchor sits on your Gran Torino body and chase the floor threads.
Good to Know
One belt per order.
Add the second side later in the same shade.
Seatbelt Planet sews the belt after the order is placed.
The reel holds the strap close to the pillar when unbuckled.
A shoulder belt is a meaningful upgrade for a car that is driven often.
The steel latch suits the chrome accents in the cabin.
Seatbelt Planet rates this conversion belt to FMVSS 209 and 302, and each belt is assembled after your order is placed.
Gran Torino interiors often featured nicer seat fabrics and woodgrain accents, and a fresh belt in a well-chosen color looks right at home against that trim.
Before ordering, check the upper mounting point for the shoulder belt on your specific body style. A fastback SportsRoof, formal hardtop and four-door sedan can each have slightly different pillar layouts.
Buying one belt at a time works well when budgets are tight or when only one side shows wear.
The Gran Torino's role in film and television has kept it popular with a new generation of fans, and many cars are being brought back to road-ready condition.
If you want both front seats done together, the matching two-belt kit is listed separately.
The Gran Torino Elite of 1974-1976 brought opera windows and a more formal roofline, and its plush seats pair nicely with a fresh retracting belt in a coordinated color.
This upgrade suits a classic car that logs real miles.
