Bench seat SuperCabs from 1997 and 1998 use this driver restraint.
Vehicle Fit
For the driver place on the front bench of a 1997-1998 F-150 three-door SuperCab.
Choosing a Color
Bench-seat SuperCab buyers get 52 webbing options, not just the 32 noted.
Why Upgrade?
The left-side bench strap takes the most use and often frays at the edge.
Maintenance
Sponge the strap gently and let it dry pulled out.
About the Ford F-150
The three-door SuperCab layout lasted only two model years before Ford made the four-door SuperCab standard.
Before You Install
Inspect the pillar and floor mounts on the driver side.
Good to Know

Bench SuperCabs could seat three in front and more in the rear jump seats.
Black or graphite webbing suits most of these interiors.
Compare the latch end of your old belt to the listing photos.
A bench-seat SuperCab from the first two tenth-generation years needs a driver belt sized for that bench, and this part is the one Seatbelt Planet lists for that position rather than the bucket version sold separately.
Three-door SuperCabs with a bench could carry three up front plus a pair of riders on the rear jump seat, which made them a practical family truck in the late 1990s and explains why so many are still around.
The driver position on a bench gets slid back and forth and sat on hard every day, and that motion tends to wear the strap where it passes over the seat edge and near the latch plate.
When the reel on the driver side stops pulling the webbing back fully, the loose strap can get caught in the door, which is often the moment owners decide it is time to order a new one.
Owners who drive these trucks year-round often pick a dark webbing color, while those restoring a garage-kept example match the original interior trim as closely as the color menu allows.
Because the third door on these early SuperCabs was on the passenger side only, the driver side pillar is a conventional fixed B-pillar where this driver belt is anchored.
Whatever trim your bench SuperCab wears, the driver restraint goes through the same daily cycle of being pulled, buckled and wound back, and the reel spring eventually tires from that repetition.
Expect the color you pick to be woven new and sewn to order, which takes a few days before the belt leaves Seatbelt Planet.
Pulling the old driver belt out to its full length and letting it wind back slowly will tell you a lot; a healthy reel retracts smoothly without stalling halfway.
