Check the outboard bench anchor before ordering.
Good to Know
Hardware is not stated.
Order a second belt for the other side.
Bench seat Chevy crew cabs were the most common configuration, and this belt fits one outboard position on that front bench.
The Chevy bench has room for three, and this belt covers the driver or passenger side rather than the middle.
Many Chevy crew cabs had vinyl benches on Custom Deluxe trucks and cloth on Silverado trucks.
The Chevy crew cab door opening is wide, and belts that hang in the jamb often get pinched or frayed.
Measure the Chevy belt's latch side length before ordering.
Gray, saddle and blue webbing suit many Chevy square-body benches.
Seatbelt Planet sells a center belt for the Chevy front bench separately.
Chevy crew cabs in four-wheel drive form were popular with ranchers and are now collector trucks.
The Chevy crew cab often had a long eight-foot bed, making it one of the largest pickups of its time.
Order a second belt if both outboard bench positions need replacement.
Seatbelt Planet also lists Chevy crew cab rear belts.
The 52 webbing colors let Chevy owners match benches trimmed in blue, red, saddle or gray.
Chevy crew cabs were offered with the 350, 454 and 6.2 diesel engines in these years.
A new outboard bench belt fixes common problems like a slow retractor or frayed webbing.
Owners of Chevy crew cabs with original seats should check the anchor bolts for rust.
Seatbelt Planet lists bucket and bench belts separately for these Chevy trucks, so match the seat style.
Chevy crew cab owners who drive their trucks daily often find that the driver belt retracts slowly after years of use.
Replacing the Chevy outboard bench belt also gives a chance to inspect the seat track and floor.
Saddle tan was one of the most popular Chevy truck interior colors of the late 1970s, and matching webbing is available.
Chevy crew cab doors on the front open wide, and the outboard belt is the first thing a driver grabs when climbing in.
A bench seat Chevy crew cab with fresh outboard belts looks far better than one with faded originals.
Seatbelt Planet sells this Chevy belt as a single, so order two for both sides of the bench.
