About the 1979-1989 Ford LTD
Ford downsized the LTD for 1979 on the new Panther platform, and those cars led to the Crown Victoria.
Before You Install
Check the LTD anchors on the side getting the new belt.
Good to Know
One belt per order.
Order the other side in the same shade.
Seatbelt Planet sews each belt after purchase.
A center belt completes the bench.
The Panther-era LTD belt meets FMVSS 209 and 302 and is built after purchase.
The downsized 1979 LTD was shorter and lighter than the car it replaced, yet it kept a roomy cabin and a comfortable ride. Its Panther platform proved so durable that it underpinned Ford's full-size cars for decades.
Check the downsized LTD's floor bolt hole and pillar mount on that side first.
Sedans, coupes and Country Squire wagons all carried the LTD name in these years, so confirm your body style and anchor layout before ordering.
A single belt is a practical fix when one side is worn and the other is still sound.
The opposite seat can follow in a matching color.
Pick a webbing color that suits the seat fabric and trim.
These cars are increasingly appreciated as comfortable, simple classics, and fresh belts help keep them road-ready.
Owners who use their LTD as a regular driver will appreciate a belt that retracts cleanly and latches firmly.
A center belt for the front bench is also available.
In 1983 Ford moved the LTD name to a smaller Fox-platform car while the full-size version became the LTD Crown Victoria, so confirm which car you own before ordering.
Pick the same strap color as the other side if that belt is still in good condition.
Panther-platform LTD sedans are known for their long service lives, and many have racked up huge mileage while still running well.
A fresh belt is one of the easiest ways to make the cabin of a high-mileage car feel cared for.
