Product Description
The 1976-86 Ford F-Series is the truck that cemented Ford's reputation for durable pickups, and plenty of "Dentside" and bullnose trucks are still working or being restored. Bucket seat trucks need belts that suit that layout. This Seatbelt Planet Bucket Seat Belt set replaces the driver and passenger belts in a 1976-86 Ford truck with bucket seats.
What You Get
Seatbelt Planet's current listing for the 1976-86 F-Series bucket seat kit describes retractable 3-point lap and shoulder belts with all-metal push button buckles, with hardware included. The listing on this page adds:
- Sold for the driver and passenger seats, two people
- Available in 30 popular webbing colors
- Meets and exceeds Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 209 and 302
- Color-matched plastic components with Red, Flame Red, Maroon, Red Wine, Tan, Desert Tan, Medium Beige, Navy, Grey and Silver webbing; Camel comes with tan components, and all other colors use black
- Matching thread on Red, Flame Red, Maroon, Red Wine, Wine & Roses, Tan, Desert Tan, Medium Beige, Navy, Powder Blue, Cobalt, Grey and Silver; white thread on Wysteria, Lime Green, Orange, Ivory and White
- All measurements have a +/- 1" tolerance
Built for Bucket Seats
Bucket seats change where the buckles need to sit and how long the belts should be compared with a bench seat. This set is made for the bucket seat layout, so the buckles land in the right place beside each seat. Seatbelt Planet lists its matching kit for standard and crew cab trucks. If your truck has had aftermarket seats installed, contact us before ordering so we can help confirm fit.
Matching Details
Seatbelt Planet pays attention to the small parts. Several popular webbing colors come with color-matched plastic components and matching thread, so the belt looks like a factory piece rather than a mismatched replacement. For a truck interior, Tan, Desert Tan, Medium Beige, Grey and Navy are common choices that match the original trim colors of this era, and they all receive matching components.
Choose a Color
The Webbing Color menu offers 30 colors, including black, charcoal, grey, silver, tan, camel tan, desert tan, medium beige, brown, dark brown, red, maroon, red wine, navy, blue, cobalt and many more.
Why Replace the Belts
Truck belts get heavy use, and after decades in a work truck they are often frayed, stained or slow to retract. New belts restore proper protection and make getting in and out of the cab easier, with buckles that latch and release cleanly.
Installation Tips
Before removing the old belts, photograph how they are mounted. Inspect the floor and cab mounting points for rust, which is common in trucks of this age, and repair weak metal first. Use the correct hardware, keep the webbing flat and untwisted, and tighten each bolt securely. Test each retractor and buckle before driving. If you are not comfortable doing the work, have a qualified shop install the belts.
