About the 1974-1979 Ford Ranchero
The Ranchero switched to the LTD II platform for 1977, gaining stacked headlights and a longer body before Ford ended production after 1979.
Pre-Install Checklist
Check every anchor point and clean the threads before mounting.
Good to Know
Three-position kit.
Seatbelt Planet sews all belts from one dye lot.
A complete set gives the cab a fresh look.
Late Rancheros are gaining collector interest.
Matching belts help the interior look finished.
All three late-Ranchero belts meet FMVSS 209 and 302 and share one roll.
The 1974-1976 Ranchero carried Torino styling, while the 1977-1979 trucks adopted the squarer LTD II look with stacked headlights. Both versions offered roomy bench seating that can carry three across.
Before ordering, inspect the floor anchors and upper mounting points for both outboard positions and confirm the center anchor pair. Clean every thread so the bolts start without cross-threading.
A full kit is the simplest route to a uniform bench, and it saves the trouble of matching dye lots later.
Late Rancheros are among the last car-based pickups Ford built, and their mix of comfort and utility has earned them a growing following.
Single driver or passenger belts and center belts for these years are listed separately if you only need part of the bench.
Choose a webbing color that complements the seat upholstery and door panels for a cohesive cab.
Questions about fitment for a specific truck can be answered by phone.
Whether yours is a 500, GT or Squire, the cab sees the same use as any truck, and a complete set of fresh belts keeps it ready for passengers.
The longer 1977-79 trucks are often overlooked, which makes them an affordable way into Ranchero ownership.
A full bench kit is the most complete refresh available for these trucks.
Late Rancheros blur the line between classic car and truck.
