Product Description
1976-1988 Chevrolet Blazer, Rear, Seat Belt
- Rear bench lap belt
- Two-point, non-retracting
- All-metal push button buckle
- One rider per belt
- FMVSS 209 and 302 rated
The rear bench in a square-body K5 Blazer is where the kids, the dog's owner and the extra fishing buddy end up, and it often has the most neglected belts in the truck. Seatbelt Planet's rear lap belt for the 1976-1988 Chevrolet Blazer gives one of those back seat riders a new strap and an all-metal push button buckle.
Vehicle Fit
Seatbelt Planet lists this belt for full-size Chevrolet Blazers built from 1976 through 1988, which covers the half-cab steel roof era of the K5. It is sold as a single belt for one rear seating position, so order one for each rider you want to protect.
Choosing a Color
Strap color is your call from a list of fifty-two, with a premium tier of thirteen shades priced slightly higher. Blazers in these years were trimmed in blue, red, saddle, charcoal and buckskin, and you will find a close neighbor for each.
Why Upgrade?
Rear seats in these trucks were often pulled out for hauling and left in the garage for years. When they go back in, the old belts are frequently cracked, mouse-chewed or missing entirely. A new belt puts the back seat back into service properly.
Maintenance
When the top is off, sun and rain hit the rear seat directly, so tuck the strap down between uses. Shake out trail dust and sponge away mud with plain water before it dries into the weave.
About the Chevrolet Blazer
Chevrolet's 1973-1991 K5 Blazer, the square-body generation, is a cornerstone of the classic four-wheel-drive scene. From 1976 the removable top covered only the rear half of the cab, adding strength and reducing leaks, and that is the configuration this belt was made for.
Pre-Install Checklist
Pull the rear seat and look closely at the anchor bolt holes in the cargo floor. Water collects back there in topless trucks, so scrape away scale, run a tap through the threads, and confirm the steel is still thick.
Good to Know
The all-metal push button buckle matches the style used up front on many of these trucks.
Many Blazer owners use the back seat only a few times a year, which makes it easy to forget the belts. That is exactly when a dependable buckle matters, since passengers back there are often children who cannot judge whether an old belt is trustworthy.
Because the belt does not retract, set the length once for your usual passenger and the adjuster will keep it there. Excess strap can be folded and tucked so it does not flap around with the top off.
Rear seat brackets on K5s were sometimes swapped between years or replaced with aftermarket seats. If your truck has a non-factory rear bench, compare its anchor layout with the floor before ordering.
