This listing renews the middle spot of a 1997-1999 F-150 regular cab bench.
Where It Fits
Middle bench position only, 1997-99 F-150 regular cab.
Color Options
Your middle belt can be ordered in 52 colors, versus 32 in the text.
Why Replace Old Belts?
Middle belts in these trucks often end up buried in the seat gap, stained or crushed.
Care Tips
Pull that middle strap from the crease every so often and clean it.
About the Ford F-150
With a bench, the tenth-generation regular cab could carry three across, which many work trucks did daily.
Before You Install
Fold the backrest ahead to view the center floor anchors.
Good to Know
The listing does not say whether hardware is included.
Match the color to the outer bench belts.
Compare the old middle belt with the new one first.
Seatbelt Planet makes it to order.
Test the latch several times after fitting.
A middle belt that latches every time matters when a child rides up front.
Keep coins and crumbs out of the latch.
A small part that makes the bench fully usable again.
Many owners order it with the outer pair for a complete bench.
Older middle belts can look fine yet have weak latches.
A worn or missing middle restraint is a frequent complaint on 1997-1999 F-150 regular cabs, because the strap disappears into the gap between cushion and backrest and gets crushed by passengers who never knew it was there in the first place.
This listing replaces just that middle position, so trucks whose two outer belts are already in good order can get a working third place without paying for parts they do not need from a full three-belt kit.
When a grandchild or extra coworker rides in the middle, a buckle that latches cleanly every time is the whole point, and older units that have been sat on for years often have bent tongues or sticky release buttons.
Before removing the old one, note how it is routed under the seat frame and which bolt hole it uses, then lay it beside the new part so the length and buckle style can be compared.
Pick the same shade you chose for the outer belts so the bench looks uniform, or go with black if you are unsure, since that blends with almost every interior Ford offered in these trucks.
Tenth-generation regular cab trucks with a split or full bench were sold in huge numbers, so this middle part remains one of the more commonly needed pieces for owners who want every spot in the cab usable again for a passenger.
If the truck has a fold-down armrest in the middle of the backrest, the belt still sits underneath it, so flip the armrest up to inspect the latch end before you order.
