1973-1977 GMC Pickup Truck, Crew Cab, Driver & Passenger Seat Belt Kit
- Driver and passenger
- 2-point retractable lap belts
- All-metal push button buckles
- Crew cab
- FMVSS 209 and 302 rated
Early square-body GMC crew cabs from 1973 to 1977 used lap belts up front, and this Seatbelt Planet kit replaces both with retractable lap belts and all-metal push button buckles.
Vehicle Fit
Listed for 1973-1977 GMC crew cab pickups, driver and passenger.
Choosing a Color
Early crew cab lap belts come in 52 shades, 13 of them specialty choices.
Why Upgrade?
Original lap belts in these trucks are often frayed and their retractors sluggish. A new kit restores both sides.
Maintenance
Let the belts reel back slowly after use and keep them out of the door jambs. Wipe the webbing with a damp cloth if it collects dust.
About the 1973-1977 GMC Crew Cab
GMC crew cabs of the mid-seventies were built for work crews and towing, with long wheelbases and roomy cabs. Early square bodies like these are increasingly collectible, and many are being restored to original condition.
Pre-Install Checklist
Clean the floor anchor and retractor threads on both sides, and look for rust beneath old floor mats. Hardware is not mentioned, so keep good original bolts.
Good to Know
Hardware is not mentioned.
Both belts come in one color.
Retractable lap belts keep the period look.
Seatbelt Planet makes the kit to order.
Later crew cabs use three-point belts listed separately.
The 1973 redesign gave GMC crew cabs a roomier, more comfortable cab, but these early square bodies still used simple lap belts in front. Seatbelt Planet's kit keeps that period setup while replacing worn straps and sticky reels.
Many 1973-1977 trucks have faded or brittle belts from years of sun through the windshield.
Owners restoring an early square body to original condition often prefer lap belts like these over modern shoulder belts.
Order the rear center belt and other crew cab belts to complete the cab.
Both belts in the kit are made in the same color.
Reel-type lap straps stay off the floor and clear of the doors yet keep the 1973-1977 look. Many owners consider them the right choice for a truck from these years.
Hardware is not mentioned in the listing.
Early square-body crew cabs are less common than later trucks, and a correct set of period lap belts helps keep one authentic.
A matched pair of retractable lap belts also suits restomod crew cabs that keep a vintage interior style while adding modern drivetrain upgrades.
Early square-body crew cabs have become sought-after classic trucks, and correct belts help one present well.
