Product Description
1976-1991 GMC Jimmy, Front Center, Seat Belt
- Front middle lap belt
- Non-retracting two-point strap
- All-metal push button buckle
- For bench-seat Jimmys
- FMVSS 209 and 302 rated
A full-size GMC Jimmy with a front bench can seat three across, and the middle rider needs a belt that actually works. Seatbelt Planet sells this two-point lap belt for that center spot in 1976-1991 Jimmys, with an all-metal push button buckle.
Vehicle Fit
Seatbelt Planet lists it for the 1976 through 1991 GMC Jimmy. Note that the spec text on their listing describes it as a 1989-1991 Chevrolet Blazer front center belt, which is the Jimmy's twin, while the fitment covers 1976-1991 Jimmys. It is for trucks with a front bench, one center rider.
Choosing a Color
Fifty-two webbing shades are available, thirteen in a premium group. GMC interiors often ran to saddle, blue, red and slate, all easy to match.
Why Upgrade?
Middle belts in old Jimmys usually sat unused under the bench for years and are often stiff or missing. A fresh belt lets a third person ride up front safely.
Maintenance
Lift the belt out of the seat gap after trail runs so grit does not collect in the buckle, and wipe the strap with plain water.
About the GMC Jimmy
The GMC Jimmy was the twin of the Chevrolet K5 Blazer, with GMC grilles and trim. From 1976 it used the half-cab steel roof with a removable rear section, and it stayed in production through 1991.
Before You Install
Slide the bench forward and look for the two center anchor holes on the floor. Clean the threads and check for corrosion.
Good to Know
Rear Jimmy belts and front outboard belts are offered separately.
Sierra Classic and High Sierra trims had nicer bench upholstery, and a matched strap color makes the middle belt look factory.
Many Jimmys were converted to bucket seats over the years. If yours still has the bench, this belt completes it.
Jimmys from the late eighties gained fuel injection and updated interiors, while the earlier carbureted trucks kept the classic look. Either way, the middle bench position uses the same floor anchors. Choose a webbing shade that matches the outer belts, and adjust the strap so it sits low across the hips of the middle passenger. These trucks are a joy on back roads and beach trips, and a center belt lets you bring along one more friend.
Seatbelt Planet's own spec line mentions the Blazer twin, but the listing covers Jimmy trucks across the full 1976-1991 span.
Dirt and sand from off-road trips settle into the seat crease, which is exactly where a center belt lives. A new buckle starts clean and latches crisply, and an occasional vacuum of the crease keeps it that way. Matching the strap to the outer belts keeps the bench uniform.
