About the Single 1978-1982 Toyota Bucket Belt
These trucks are simple and durable, and owners often keep them running for decades with careful repairs like this one.
Pre-Install Checklist
Check for factory buckets and a standard cab, then clear that side's threads.
Good to Know
One bucket seat belt.
Note the color so a second belt can match later.
The retractor keeps the strap off the floor.
A single bucket seat belt is the practical choice when one side has failed and the other is fine. The driver's belt usually goes first in a work truck.
Only standard cab trucks with buckets are listed.
Rust near the anchor should be repaired first.
The retractor keeps the shoulder strap off the floor and away from cargo.
The maker rates it to FMVSS 209/302.
Choose a color close to the remaining belt, or order a pair to match both sides.
A new belt suits a Toyota that still earns its keep.
Keep the buckle clean of dirt and gravel, which can jam the release over time.
Many owners refresh the belts when the seat covers are replaced.
Bucket-seat trucks from these years are popular with collectors.
Toyota's SR5 trucks of this era came with sport bucket seats and extra instruments, and those trucks are especially valued by collectors today. A fresh belt for one of those seats helps keep the cab looking complete.
Seatbelt Planet notes that this belt fits only standard cab pickups and does not fit the T-100. Before ordering, make sure your truck has the factory bucket seats rather than a bench, because the buckle mounts differ.
A single belt also makes a handy spare for a truck that is being restored slowly.
Seatbelt Planet makes the belt to order once you pick the color, so take a moment to compare swatches with your seat covers. A close color match helps the new belt blend with the old one if you are not replacing both sides.
