Product Description
1982-1993 GMC S15 Truck Bench Passenger Seat Belt
- Passenger, bench seat
- Standard cab
- All-metal buckle style
- Single retractor design
- FMVSS 209 and 302 rated
A bench seat GMC S15 carries its passenger on the right side of a wide cushion, and this Seatbelt Planet belt replaces that position's original restraint. Seatbelt Planet describes it as an all-metal style belt that swaps the factory setup for a more modern single-retractor design, sold for the passenger position of a standard cab truck.
Fitment
Seatbelt Planet's title lists 1982-1993 GMC S15 standard cab trucks with a bench seat, passenger side. Its description text mentions 1982-90 S10 and S15 trucks. GMC called this truck the S15 from 1982 through 1990 and the Sonoma from 1991, so the final years here are Sonoma trucks.
Webbing Colors
Webbing is offered in 52 colors on the order page, 13 of them premium. Seatbelt Planet's older description mentions 32 colors, but the current option list is larger.
Why Replace?
Factory retractors in these compact trucks often weaken, lock up or rewind slowly after decades of use, and passenger webbing fades from sun through the side glass. Swapping in a new one brings back smooth reeling and clean webbing.
Belt Care
Let the belt retract on its own and keep it clear of the door seal. Wipe the strap with a damp cloth if it picks up dust from the cab.
About the GMC S15
GMC's S15 shared its body and chassis with the Chevrolet S10 and was GM's first domestically built compact pickup. It came with four-cylinder and V6 engines, two-wheel or four-wheel drive, and long or short beds.
Before You Install
Inspect the floor anchor, retractor mounting point and upper anchor on the passenger side. Tap out each hole and look for corrosion.
Good to Know
The driver bench belt is a separate listing.
Bench seat trucks often had a center belt too, which Seatbelt Planet lists separately.
Get the left-side bench belt in this color too.
If your truck has bucket seats, use the bucket seat listings instead.
Photograph the original path from reel to upper anchor before removal.
Sun through the passenger window is the main cause of faded webbing on this side.
Seatbelt Planet makes the belt to order in the color you choose.
A replacement belt also helps when buying a used truck whose passenger belt has been cut or removed.
Bench seat S15s were the most common configuration, especially on work trucks with column shifters.
Sonoma-badged trucks share the same cab and seats as the earlier S15 models.
Seatbelt Planet builds this belt in the webbing color of your choice.
Pairing it with the matching driver belt finishes the bench nicely.
