Fitment Notes
Center position on the front bench seat of B Series extended cab pickups, per the 1998 through 2001 Seatbelt Planet title.
Available Colors
Pick any of the 52 webbing colors so the center belt matches the outboard straps already in the truck.
Why New Belts Matter
Center belts are often the most neglected in a pickup, getting pinched under the seat cushion or chewed by the seat track, and many are now torn or missing.
Keeping Them Like New
Lift the center strap clear of the cushion gap, sponge it with diluted soap, and wait until it is dry before tucking it away.
About the Mazda B Series Pickup
Mazda's late 1990s B Series pickups were mechanically close to the Ranger, which kept them practical and widely serviceable.

Good to Know
The belt is made to order in the color selected.
A front bench with a center belt lets a compact Mazda pickup carry three across in a pinch.
Seatbelt Planet also offers a three-belt kit if the outboard belts need replacing too.
Call 574-226-6676 for help with the center belt.
Seatbelt Planet's title for this item calls it a front center lap belt, which is the usual restraint for the middle position of a compact pickup bench of this era.
The description text on the Seatbelt Planet page describes a three-point retractable belt instead, so a quick call before ordering clears up which style ships for your truck.
Center belts in B Series trucks tend to get buried beneath the split of the 60/40 bench, where seat movement can crush the buckle housing over time.
Ordering this belt in the same color as the outboard straps lets the whole bench read as one set.
For owners who replaced the outboard belts years ago and only now realized the center strap is cracked, this single listing fills that gap without duplicating parts.
Mazda B Series pickups from these years were often used as compact work trucks, and a third seat up front was handy for short trips with a helper.
End release latches on the center belt open with a thumb press at the tip of the buckle, matching the outboard belts in these trucks.
