Good to Know
Hardware is not stated.
Adjust the fixed belt with its slide adjuster.
The original GMC center belt was a fixed lap belt, and this replacement keeps the same layout.
GMC center belt anchors usually bolt to the floor under the bench, near the transmission tunnel.
A non-retractable GMC belt is adjusted by hand with the slide and stays at that length.
Many GMC crew cabs are missing the center belt because it was lost under the seat years ago.
Measure the GMC buckle side and latch side lengths to be sure they reach the middle seat.
Match the GMC center belt color to the outer belts for a uniform bench.
Seatbelt Planet sells GMC outboard front belts and rear belts.
Square-body GMC trucks with full benches are popular at truck shows.
Lift the GMC bench forward to reach the center anchors.
GMC Sierra Classic interiors often had tan or blue cloth.
The 52 webbing colors let GMC owners match the center belt to blue, tan, red or gray benches.
GMC High Sierra benches often had cloth inserts with vinyl trim.
Middle passengers in a GMC square-body crew cab sit over the transmission hump, so this lap belt anchors near that area.
GMC owners rebuilding their front bench with new foam and covers often add a new middle belt at the same time.
A two-point center belt like this one is how GMC equipped the middle front seat in these trucks.
Seatbelt Planet makes many GMC square-body belts, from front buckets to rear seats.
High Sierra and Sierra Classic interiors used cloth with vinyl trim in navy, camel and burgundy.
Missing middle belts are one of the most common problems in older GMC crew cabs.
A GMC with three adults up front puts the middle rider shoulder to shoulder with the driver and passenger.
Lap belts for the middle seat are shorter than outboard belts, so measure your GMC's anchor spacing.
Many four-wheel drive GMC crew cabs have a transfer case shifter near the middle seat.
Webbing in charcoal or navy hides dirt well in a GMC work truck.
