Time for New Belts?

Caring for Your Belts
Let the reel rewind the strap gently and clean it with mild soap.
About the 1971-1978 Ford LTD
The LTD was Ford's top full-size line in the seventies, with hardtops, sedans, convertibles early on, and the Country Squire wagon.
Pre-Install Checklist
Inspect the upper and floor anchor points for the side you are replacing.
Good to Know
One belt per order.
Order the second side later in the same color.
Seatbelt Planet sews the belt after purchase.
Full-size Fords make comfortable highway cruisers.
The metal latch suits the LTD's chrome trim.
Seventies LTD buyers get an FMVSS 209 and 302 rated belt, stitched after the order.
Seventies LTDs are big, quiet cars with soft suspensions and roomy benches, and they make excellent highway cruisers. A three-point belt adds upper-body restraint for the driver or passenger without changing the classic look of the interior.
Locate the LTD's upper mount for your body and chase its floor threads ahead of time. Hardtops, sedans and wagons can differ.
Buying a single belt is a practical approach when only one side needs replacing, or when you want to spread a full interior refresh over time.
LTD models in these years ranged from the base car to the Brougham and Landau, and this belt suits any with the listed fitment.
Pick a strap hue that suits the LTD's seats and door cards.
If you need rear belts or a second front belt, check our other LTD listings.
A fresh belt makes the driver's seat of a big Ford feel as solid as the rest of the car.
Full-size Fords from this era are still affordable, and a few well-chosen upgrades make them enjoyable daily drivers.
The 1973 and later LTDs wore heavier five-mile-per-hour bumpers and more formal rooflines, yet inside they kept the same comfortable bench seating that this belt is listed for.
LTD owners who cruise long distances will find a three-point belt much more comfortable than a bare lap strap.
