This kit suits Rancheros that are used as daily drivers.
Matching belts are a detail judges notice.
Seatbelt Planet rates this kit to FMVSS 209 and 302.
Doing all three front positions at once is the easiest way to make sure every rider in the cab has a fresh belt and that the webbing color matches across the bench.
Before the kit arrives, check the floor anchors and the upper mounting points on both outboard sides, and clean all threads. Confirm the center anchor pair under the cushion as well.
The 1972 and 1973 Rancheros shared the Torino's front-end styling, with a long hood and a wide grille, and the GT version added bold stripes and a sportier interior.
This kit is a sensible choice for owners who use their Ranchero as a regular driver, haul light loads, or bring friends along to shows.
If you only need the middle belt, a separate center lap belt is listed for these years.
Big-block Rancheros from this period are increasingly sought after, and a complete, color-matched bench helps one present like a careful restoration.
Seventy-two and seventy-three Rancheros were offered with 351 and 429 V8 options, making the GT a genuinely quick car-based truck, and solid belts suit that kind of performance.
Every rider in this classic truck gets a fresh belt.
