Keeping Them Like New
Sponge both straps with soapy water and let them dry before they rewind.
About the Dodge Dakota
The second-generation Club Cab had a longer cab than the regular cab, with room for rear jump seating.
Before You Install
Rust likes the pillar bolts and floor anchors on older trucks, so look closely at both sides.
Good to Know
Hardware is in the box.
A center lap belt and a three-belt kit are also listed for this truck.
Club Cab Dakotas were popular with buyers who wanted a little extra room without a full-size truck.
Compare the old belts with the new set before removal.
Seatbelt Planet builds both after a color is chosen.
Tug each new belt after fitting to make sure it locks.
Fresh front belts are a simple upgrade for an older Club Cab.
Club Cab Dakotas of the second generation were roomier than the first, and the bench seat let three ride up front.
Seatbelt Planet notes these belts will not fit bucket seats, so confirm you have a bench before ordering.
Both outboard belts come together, so the left and right sides match.
The middle belt for the same bench is offered separately, and a three-belt kit is also listed.
Hardware is included with the pair.
Many second-generation Club Cabs were used as family trucks, which means both front belts usually show similar wear.
The Club Cab's rear jump seats use their own belts, also available from Seatbelt Planet.
Choosing black webbing is a safe match for most Dakota interiors of this era.
A Club Cab with fresh front belts is a better truck for daily driving and weekend trips alike.
Older Dakota belts with curled or frayed edges should be retired.
With both outer belts in one box, the pair suits owners refreshing the front of a Club Cab in one weekend.
Webbing on the passenger side of a commuter Club Cab often looks newer than the driver side, but it has aged just as long.
Seatbelt Planet's bench pair is meant for trucks that kept the factory front bench rather than aftermarket buckets.
Dakota Club Cabs in Sport trim often had bold graphics outside and plain gray cloth inside, and gray webbing suits that look.
