Ford's eighth-generation F-Series, built for 1987 through 1991, brought fuel injection to most of its engines and a cleaner, more aerodynamic nose to America's favorite pickup. Seatbelt Planet's front bench row belt for standard cab trucks of these years is a retractable lap-and-shoulder belt with a metal push-release latch, sold for one person, and it comes with mounting hardware.
Vehicle Fit
Seatbelt Planet lists it for one outboard seat, left or right, on the front bench row seat of '87-'91 Ford F-Series regular cab pickups.
Choosing a Color
Webbing comes in 52 shades, 13 premium. Seatbelt Planet's text mentions 32 popular colors; the live option menu shows all 52.
Why Upgrade?
Bench belts in these trucks wear where they slide across the seat cushion and through the pillar loop, and many reels have grown weak after three decades. A fresh belt makes the cab feel tight again.
Maintenance
Brush dust off the webbing, wash spots with mild soapy water and cool water, and let the strap dry before it winds back in.
About the 1987-1991 F-Series Bench Belt
The 1987 redesign gave the F-150, F-250 and F-350 a smoother front end with flush headlamps, while the trusty 300 cubic inch inline six and the 5.0 and 5.8 liter V8s carried on. These trucks are now a favorite of classic truck owners who want something they can drive every day.
Pre-Install Checklist
Look over the floor anchor and the upper pillar mount for rust, and clean their threads so the supplied bolts start by hand.
Good to Know
One belt for one seat.
Because this listing covers one side, it suits trucks where only the driver belt has failed. The matching pair and the three-belt kit for these years are separate listings.
Seatbelt Planet points buyers to its 1987-1991 F-Series center lap belt if the middle seat needs attention too.
The all-metal buckle has the weight and positive click that F-Series owners expect from a truck belt.
Owners of 4x4 trucks should look closely at the floor near the anchor, since mud and salt tend to collect there.
If you are refreshing the whole cab, fit the belt after the seat cover and floor mat so nothing has to come apart twice.

Seatbelt Planet sells this as one belt for one person, and it describes the design as an all-metal style for 1987-91 F-Series bench seats.
