Why New Belts Matter
The driver belt in a SuperCab sees every trip, so it usually wears out first.
Keeping Them Like New
Use mild soap on the driver strap and allow it to dry out fully.
About the Ford F-150
Ford added a fourth door to the SuperCab for 1999, which is why this belt is listed for the 1997-1998 three-door trucks.
Pre-Install Checklist
Check the driver side mounts for rust before fitting.
Good to Know
Hardware is not mentioned on the listing.
Bucket seats were common in XLT and Lariat SuperCabs.
A bench seat version of this driver belt is also listed.
Seatbelt Planet makes it to order.
Seatbelt Planet's text says bench applications in one line, but the title and summary say bucket seat, so call us if you want to confirm.
Many three-door SuperCabs are now popular weekend trucks.
The 1997 and 1998 SuperCab F-150 used a single extra rear-hinged door on the passenger side only, so the driver bucket belt in these trucks is specific to that three-door arrangement and its pillar layout.
Bucket seat SuperCabs were often XLT or Lariat models with a console between the front seats, and the driver restraint on those trucks tends to rub against the seat bolster, which wears the webbing along one edge over many years of entry and exit.
Because the driver side gets climbed in and out of every day, owners commonly replace only this position first and decide later whether the passenger side or rear belts also need attention.
Ford sold the three-door layout only through the 1998 model year, adding a driver-side rear door for 1999, so these two years form a short and distinct window for this particular part.
Note that one line in the source description mentions bench applications even though the title and summary describe a bucket seat belt, so give us a call if your truck's seat style is in doubt.
XLT SuperCabs with captain's chairs often came with power lumbar and a flip-up console, and drivers sliding across that console over the years wear the inboard side of the belt as much as the outer side.
Lay the old driver restraint on a bench and run your fingers along it; any hard, glazed patches or broken stitching near the loop are good reasons to replace it.
