- Driver and passenger bucket seats
- Retractable three-point belts

Some 1978-1982 Toyota Pickups, especially sport and SR5 trim trucks, were fitted with bucket seats instead of a bench. Seatbelt Planet's pair covers both bucket seats in standard cab trucks with retractable three-point belts, hardware included, rated to FMVSS 209 and 302.
Fitment Notes
Fitment: both bucket seats in 1978-1982 Toyota standard cab pickups. It does not fit the T-100.
Available Colors
Choose from 52 webbing colors, 13 premium.
Why New Belts Matter
Bucket seat belts in these trucks are often frayed or slow to retract. A matched pair restores both seats at once.
Keeping Them Like New
Wash gently; keep tools and gravel away from both buckles.
About the 1978-1982 Toyota Pickup Buckets
Toyota's compact pickups grew more popular through the late seventies as buyers looked for economical trucks, and sporty bucket seat models added some flair.
Before You Install
Confirm your truck has bucket seats and a standard cab, then clean the anchor threads.
Good to Know
Two bucket seat belts.
Both belts share the webbing color you select.
Retractors keep the shoulder straps tidy against the cab wall.
A bench seat version is listed separately.
Bucket seats in a compact Toyota truck give a sportier feel, and the belts on those seats rub against the seat bolsters over time. A fresh pair with smooth retractors improves both comfort and appearance.
Seatbelt Planet lists this pair for standard cab trucks only. Extended cab trucks use different belt layouts.
Before fitting, inspect the floor near the anchors for rust, which is common in trucks of this age.
Both belts share the webbing color you choose, so the two seats match.
The retractors keep the shoulder straps close to the cab wall when unbuckled, which keeps them off the floor and away from boots and tools.
New covers and new belts often go in together.
If one seat belt is still good, a single belt is also listed.
Both are rated to FMVSS 209 and 302, per the maker.
Keep the buckles free of dirt and grit.
Bucket-seat Toyotas of this era were often SR5 models with extra gauges and a five-speed gearbox, and they are especially collectible now.
Bucket seats also mean the buckles sit beside a console rather than on a bench, so the pair is laid out for that arrangement.
Seatbelt Planet makes both belts to order once you pick the webbing color, so compare the swatches with your seat covers before choosing.
