Product Description
1974-1979 Ford F-Series, Extended Cab, Front Seat Belt
- 3-point retractable lap and shoulder
- All metal push button buckle
- Extended cab front bench
- Replaces dual retractor setup
- FMVSS 209 and 302 rated
Ford introduced the SuperCab extended cab in 1974, adding room behind the front bench for gear or small jump seats. This belt replaces one front outboard belt in a 1974-1979 F-Series extended cab, swapping the old dual retractor arrangement for a single retractable 3-point belt.
Fitment
Seatbelt Planet lists it for 1974 through 1979 F-Series SuperCab trucks with a front bench. Each belt covers either the driver or passenger. Regular cab and crew cab trucks use different listings, so confirm your cab before ordering.
Webbing Colors
Webbing comes in fifty-two shades; a premium applies to thirteen. Ford trucks from this period came in tan, red, blue, black and green interiors, and the standard range covers them well.
Why Replace?
The original dual retractor belts in these trucks are often worn, tangled or seized after decades of use. Replacing them with a modern single retractor belt makes the belt easier to use and restores reliable protection for daily driving or towing.
Belt Care
Extended cabs collect gear behind the seat, so keep tools and straps from rubbing the belt. Clean the webbing with mild soap and water, and keep the retractor area free of dirt.
About the Ford F-Series
The 1973-1979 F-Series, often called the 'dentside' because of the indented body line along the sides, was a big seller for Ford. The SuperCab made it a practical choice for crews and families who needed more cabin space.
Before You Install
Slide the bench forward and inspect the floor and back-wall anchor points for rust. Clean the threads, and confirm the bench mounting bolts are tight before installing the new belt.
Good to Know
Order two belts to replace both outboard positions, and add a center lap belt if a third rider sits on the bench.
Because these trucks are now very popular with collectors, a clean interior with fresh belts adds real appeal. The retractable design also keeps the belt off the floor, where it would otherwise get stepped on and dirty.
Dentside owners who tow campers or trailers often appreciate the added peace of mind of fresh belts on long highway runs.
Ford built the SuperCab with either a forward-facing rear bench or two side-facing jump seats, depending on options. This belt covers only the front row. If your truck has rear jump seats, inspect those belts as well, since they often go unused for years and dry out in the sun coming through the back glass.
Ford's dentside trucks from these years were the first F-Series to offer the extended SuperCab body, introduced partway through 1974.
