1994-2003 Pierce 1500 Fire Truck, Driver or Passenger, Seat Belt Air Ride Seats ONLY
1994-2003 Pierce 1500 Fire Truck, Driver or Passenger, Seat Belt Air Ride Seats ONLY. 3 Point Retractable Lap & Shoulder Seat Belt Kit with End Release Buckle
Fire apparatus live hard lives. A Pierce 1500 from 1994-2003 may have spent years answering calls at all hours, with crews climbing in and out in full turnout gear. Many now serve smaller departments or collectors. Whatever its role today, the cab belts deserve attention. The Seatbelt Planet 1994-2003 Pierce 1500 Fire Truck Driver or Passenger Seat Belt is a replacement belt for one front air ride seat, sold and shipped by Vintage Car Radio.
Air Ride Seats Only
The listing states plainly that this belt is for air ride seats only. Air ride seats move up and down on a suspension, so the belt has to move with the occupant. If your Pierce has standard fixed seats, this is not the correct belt. Check your seat before ordering, and contact our team if you are unsure.
What You Get
Per the product page, this is a 3-point retractable lap and shoulder seat belt kit with an end release buckle. It is sold for one position, driver or passenger.
Why It Matters on Apparatus
Fire truck seat belts face conditions few passenger cars ever see:
- Bulky gear. Crews often buckle in while wearing heavy coats, so belts get stretched, twisted, and pulled hard.
- Frequent use. On a busy rig, the belt may be fastened and released dozens of times a week.
- Contamination. Smoke, soot, water, and road grime all end up in the cab and on the webbing.
- Age. On a truck built more than twenty years ago, original webbing and retractors may simply be worn out.
Departments that keep older apparatus in service, and owners who buy retired trucks, both benefit from replacing tired belts with new ones.
Webbing Options
You can choose from 52 webbing colors on the product page, with specialty options like M-Stripe, Red-Edge, Laguna Blue and Porcelain priced slightly higher, as the picker shows. Black is a clean, practical choice. Red-Edge or Yellow-Edge can make the belt easier to spot in a dark cab, and Red-Edge naturally suits a fire engine.

For Collectors and Parade Trucks
Retired fire trucks are a growing hobby. Owners drive them in parades, show them at musters, and give rides at community events. If you are carrying members of the public, working seat belts are a must.
Installation
Inspect the seat and cab mounting points first. On air ride seats, make sure the seat base, suspension, and anchor locations are sound. Install the belt with the webbing flat, tighten the hardware securely, and confirm the retractor and buckle work through the seat's full range of travel. A fleet mechanic or heavy truck shop can do the job if you prefer.
