What the Listing Says
The product page describes this as a 2-point non-retractable lap seat belt kit with an end release buckle, for the rear center position of a 1996-2002 International fire truck.
Why a Lap Belt Works Here
A fixed-length 2-point belt is simple. There is no retractor to wear out, and the belt stays in place across the occupant's lap once adjusted. In a crew area where people are moving quickly and wearing bulky gear, an easy-to-find end release buckle is practical. Crew members can buckle in and release quickly, even with gloves on, without fumbling for a hidden latch.
Inspect Your Crew Cab
Rear crew belts on older apparatus often have problems such as:
- Belts tucked behind SCBA brackets or seat backs and never used
- Buckles crushed by equipment or gear bags
- Webbing contaminated by soot, water, or cleaning chemicals
- Belts removed during previous modifications and never replaced
Many departments make belt use a firm rule for everyone on the rig. That rule only works if every seat actually has a working belt.
For Departments, Museums, and Private Owners
Older International apparatus are still in service at many volunteer and rural departments. Others have been sold to private owners, used for parades, or preserved as museum pieces. In every case, if someone sits in that rear center seat while the truck is moving, a functioning belt is essential. A new belt also looks far better to anyone touring a restored rig.
Webbing Options
There are 52 webbing colors to pick from, and the specialty group (M-Stripe, the edge colors, Miami Blue, Acid Green, Bone, White and a few others) carries an upcharge listed in the picker. Bright edges such as Red or Yellow can make the belt easier to locate quickly in a dim cab.

Installation
Plan for a short job. Locate the center anchor points in the crew area. Remove the old belt and debris, inspect the mounting points for damage or corrosion, and install the new belt with the webbing flat. Tighten the hardware securely and adjust the belt length so it fits a firefighter in gear. A fleet mechanic can easily handle this during routine maintenance.
