A Hardbody regular cab's middle spot uses a lap belt, and this replacement is a fixed two-point unit with an end release buckle.

Webbing Colors
Webbing for this Hardbody middle lap strap comes in 52 colors.
Why Replace?
Center lap belts in these trucks are often crushed in the seat crease or missing entirely.
Belt Care
Pull the middle strap out of the crease occasionally and wipe it clean.
About the Nissan Pickup
A three-across Hardbody cab is snug, but the middle position is handy for a short ride.
Pre-Install Checklist
Tip the seat forward and check the center floor anchor.
Good to Know
Hardware is not stated.
A fixed lap belt has no reel, so the strap and buckle are what wear out.
Seatbelt Planet makes it to order.
Match the shade to the outer belts.
Test the latch several times after fitting.
The door jamb sticker confirms the build date.
The center lap belt in a Hardbody regular cab sits between the two outer positions, and its buckle half often gets lost in the seat crease.
Owners who carry a third rider occasionally will appreciate a middle belt that is quick to find and latches cleanly.
Seatbelt Planet makes the center belt to order in the shade you choose.
Match the shade to the outer belts so the seat looks uniform.
Tip the seat forward to see how the original anchors to the floor before removing it.
If your truck has front buckets with a console, the center belt may not apply, so check your layout first.
A clean middle belt makes the regular cab legitimately usable for three again.
Gray webbing suits the plain interiors of many of these trucks.
Keep coins and crumbs out of the buckle once the new belt is in.
Nissan Hardbody regular cab benches are narrow, so the middle lap strap is short and anchors close to the transmission tunnel.
When the Hardbody middle buckle has been sat on for years, its release button can stick or the housing can crack.
Owners who use a regular cab Hardbody for chores with two helpers will want the middle lap belt working properly.
The Hardbody middle lap strap adjusts with a slide on the webbing, so it can be snugged for a small rider.
Bench-seat Hardbody regular cabs were a staple of farm and ranch fleets across the country.
A Hardbody middle lap strap that has disappeared under the seat can usually be traced by following its floor bolt.
Owners who replace both Hardbody outer buckets often add this middle lap belt so every regular cab position is renewed together.
Nissan regular cab middle riders sit close to the dashboard, so keep the lap strap snug and low across the hips.
