Product Description
1982-1993 GMC S15 Truck Driver Bench Seat Belt
- Driver, bench seat
- Standard cab
- All-metal buckle
- Single retractor design
- FMVSS 209 and 302 rated
The driver belt in a compact pickup takes more use than any other, and this Seatbelt Planet replacement is made for the driver side of a GMC S15 bench seat. It is an all-metal style belt that converts the original arrangement to a modern single-retractor design.
Fit Details
Application: left side of the bench in 1982-1993 S15 regular cabs. Trucks built for 1991 and later wore the Sonoma name instead of S15.
Color Choices
Choose from 52 webbing colors, including 13 specialty shades. Many S15 interiors were gray, blue, red or tan, and the chart has close matches.
Time for New Belts?
Worn driver belts often fray at the latch plate and the edge where they rub the seat. Retractors also slow down over time. Replacing the driver belt restores a clean strap and dependable retraction for daily driving.
Caring for Your Belts
Keep the strap out of the door opening and let it reel back slowly. A vacuum around the retractor keeps dust from building up.
About the S15 Pickup
GMC's version of GM's compact truck was marketed with slightly different trim and badging than the Chevy S10. It was popular as a light-duty work truck and an economical commuter throughout the eighties.
Pre-Install Checklist
Look over the driver side floor anchor, retractor mount and pillar anchor. Clean the threads before installation, and inspect the floor for rust.
Good to Know
The passenger bench belt is sold separately.
Work trucks often have heavy wear on the driver belt from getting in and out many times a day.
New webbing is a cheap way to make an old work truck nicer to drive.
Pair it with the passenger bench belt for matching colors.
Contractors and fleet buyers bought many S15s new, and these trucks often show the most driver belt wear of any compact pickup.
Note the routing of the old belt before removal so the replacement is easy to fit.
Pulling the seat forward gives better access to the floor anchor.
Seatbelt Planet builds the belt in the selected color.
Driver-side retractors in high-mileage trucks are often the first to fail, and a slow-rewinding belt can get caught in the door and damaged further. Replacing it before that happens saves trouble.
After installing, pull sharply on the strap to confirm the retractor locks, then let it rewind fully.
Driver-side wear is often worst on trucks that were used for deliveries or service routes.
If your truck is a long-bed work model, the cab and belt mounting are the same as short-bed trucks, so this belt fits either.
Jerk the webbing quickly once mounted; the reel should catch.
