Product Description
1988-1998 Chevrolet Truck Standard Cab, Driver & Passenger Seat Belt Kit
- Driver and passenger
- End release buckles
- Bench or bucket seats
- Converts dual retractors to single
- FMVSS 209 and 302 rated
Seatbelt Planet explains that the factory belts in 1988-1998 Chevrolet pickups used a dual-retractor design, and those retractors often become problematic or stop working with age. This driver and passenger kit updates the truck to a single-retractor setup with end release buckles, for bench or bucket seats.
Vehicle Fit
Listed for 1988-1998 Chevrolet standard cab trucks, driver and passenger positions.
Choosing a Color
52 webbing colors, 13 premium. The description mentions 32, but the option list has 52.
Why Upgrade?
A failed retractor leaves a belt loose or stuck. Converting both front belts fixes the problem and gives the cab matched webbing.
Maintenance
Keep straps out of the door, let them rewind gently, and clean with mild soap.
About the 1988-1998 Chevrolet C/K Standard Cab
Chevrolet's GMT400 C/K pickups introduced a modern cab for 1988 and remain popular modern classics, especially in Silverado and Cheyenne trims.
Before You Install
Inspect floor and pillar anchors on both sides, clean threads and check for rust.
Good to Know
Two listing photos.
A single retractor has fewer parts to wear.
Seatbelt Planet sews the pair in one color.
Order a center belt separately for a bench.
Matched belts help the cab look cared for.
OBS Chevy trucks have a large following today.
GMT400 Chevy trucks, nicknamed OBS by many fans, have become one of the hottest segments in the classic truck hobby, and interior refreshes are a big part of that trend.
The single-retractor layout simplifies the belt so there is less to go wrong, and fresh webbing in a chosen color helps the cab look newer.
Bench or bucket, the driver and passenger belts mount at the outboard positions, so the kit covers most standard cab configurations.
Seatbelt Planet sews the belts to order once you check out, so there is no stale inventory involved.
Seatbelt Planet points out that the factory dual-retractor belts often stop working entirely with age, and that is the problem this conversion is intended to solve. With a single reel per side, the strap pulls out smoothly and rewinds cleanly after every stop.
Owners who swapped a bench for buckets, or the other way around, appreciate that the summary lists both seat types. Compare the two listing photos with your truck to see how the belts mount at the floor and pillar.
Seatbelt Planet notes FMVSS 209 and 302 compliance for these belts, which gives buyers confidence in the replacement.
Both belts arrive in one webbing color.
Plenty of GMT400 Chevys show a quarter-million miles on the odometer, which means each front strap has been tugged out and reeled back countless times. A matched pair restores smooth, quiet operation on both sides of the cab.
