Square-body crew cab Chevrolets with a front bench are now popular classics, and this Seatbelt Planet kit gives both front outboard seats a modern belt. It supplies matching three-point harness with an auto-rewinding retractor belts with push button buckle made entirely of metals for the driver and passenger.
Fitment Notes
Fitment covers 1978-1991 Chevrolet crew cab pickups with a front bench seat, driver and passenger sides. The front center belt and rear belts are sold separately.
Available Colors
Seatbelt Planet weaves these in fifty-two colors, a baker's dozen of them premium. Square-body interiors came in blue, red, saddle, green and other colors that match well.
Why New Belts Matter
Many square-body crew cabs still have their original belts, which are now decades old. Webbing fades and weakens, and retractors lose their spring. A new kit brings both front seats up to date.
Keeping Them Like New
Keep the belts out of the door jamb when closing the doors, and clean them with a damp cloth as needed.
About the Chevrolet Pickup
Chevrolet's square-body trucks ran from 1973 to 1987 in light-duty form, while crew cab and heavy-duty models continued on the same body as the R/V series through 1991. These trucks are now some of the most popular classic pickups.
Pre-Install Checklist
Check the floor anchors and B-pillar mounts for rust, which is common on these trucks. Clean the threads before installation.
Good to Know
Add the front center belt if your bench seats three.
Square-body crew cabs are increasingly collectible, and fresh belts are a simple improvement during a restoration.
The push button buckle made entirely of metal has a classic look that suits these trucks.
Many owners replace the front belts first since they are used every time the truck is driven.
Order the same color for the rear belts if you plan to do the whole cab.
Square-body crew cabs from this era often came with a heavy-duty bench and plain vinyl trim, and many have been restored with reproduction seat covers. A fresh pair of belts in a color keyed to the new upholstery finishes that kind of job nicely.
Seatbelt Planet notes this kit is for bench seat trucks. Some crew cabs were later fitted with bucket seats from other vehicles, which may change the anchor locations, so confirm the seat style before ordering.
Rear belts for these crew cabs are available separately, so the back seat can be done to match.
