Product Description
1988-1996 Ford E150, Driver Seat Belt
- Driver seating position
- Three-point retractable lap and shoulder belt
- All-metal push button buckle
- Hardware included
Econoline vans from the late 1980s and 1990s still work every day as shop vans, campers and shuttles. For the driver's seat, Seatbelt Planet offers a reel-type E150 belt across the lap and chest that latches into a metal push button; bolts are included.
Fitment
Listed for the driver seat of 1988-1996 Ford E150 vans.
Webbing Colors
Pick from 52 webbing colors.
Why Replace?
The driver belt in a working van gets used far more than any other, and the webbing and reel wear out first.
Belt Care
Clean the driver strap and dry it before rewinding.
About the Ford E150
Ford's Econoline line covered cargo vans, passenger vans and conversion vans, and the E150 was the half-ton model. A redesigned body arrived for 1992.
Before You Install
Check the B-pillar mount and floor anchor on the driver side for rust before fitting.
Good to Know
A metal buckle suits a van that works every day.
Conversion vans from this era are popular again with campers and road-trip fans.
Check the van's old anchor end against the new belt.
Order the passenger belt too if both front seats need attention.
Seatbelt Planet makes the belt to order after you pick a color.
The 1992 redesign gave the Econoline a rounder nose and a new interior.
E150 vans were used by plumbers, electricians, delivery crews and church groups.
Conversion vans built on the E150 often had captain's chairs, wood trim and TV packages.
A worn driver belt in a working van can fray quickly at the edge.
Check the reel by pulling the strap out quickly; a good belt locks.
Order a matching shade if you plan to replace the passenger belt later.
Call 574-226-6676 if your van has had its seats replaced.
Clean the anchor bolt threads before fitting.
Test the belt several times after fitting.
Many campers built on these vans are now being restored for road trips.
A fresh belt makes the driver seat feel like new.
Ford's E-series vans were offered with six-cylinder and V8 engines.
E250 vans use a separate listing.
Gray and blue webbing suit most van interiors from this period.
Working vans often see dozens of buckle cycles a day, which wears latches.
The driver belt is the one you use every single trip, so it is usually the first part of the cab to show its age.
If the reel on your van is slow or the webbing is curled at the edges, plan on replacing it before a long trip.
Ford sold the E150 for two decades in many forms, and plenty of these vans are still working today.
Keep the driver area clean so road grit does not wear the buckle.
Shop vans with ladder racks and shelving often have worn driver belts from constant entry and exit.
