Anyone know where to get replacement seatbelts?

[eodcoduto]

The front seatbelts on my '85 K20 Suburban are shot, they don't retract the right way and look like they were used to strangle hookers.

I've looked at the sets on LMC and seatbeltsplus.com, but these look like a universal replacement and I am looking for the same thing as stock.

I need the tan set, so if anyone has experience with any of the aftermarket sets let me know what you think so that I can make an informed decision.

This is blue., they can be found. This same part # on Ebay for $340

Thanks, these things are pricey.

OEM is pricey and more pricey on Ebay. if you use the part numbers in the GM parts list to search, you may find what you are looking for. LMC and others work for a lot less. If making a bone stock restoration then money is needed in wheelbarrows.

What exactly do you need? I have a box of blue seat belts out of an 85 Suburban with a bench seat I can get some pics if you need. Also have a tan set from an 85 dually

Well that led down an awesome rabbit hole of gm parts

The LMC belts are junk. Nothing like OEM so I'd stay away from those. Went through this when I tried to replace my faded maroon belts with black. I'd suggest to pay more and get the OEM belts if budget allows.

If it makes you feel better I paid up for a nos driver seatbelt for the 91. It is slow and poor retraction just like what I took off. It's just prettier. I dont really know what to do about that.

I just need a clean working set of tan belts for the driver and passenger front with bucket seats. LMC doesnt look bad if anyone has experience with them.

Do the ones in the link work?

 

[eodcoduto]

Yea those will work, what do you need for them?

I’ll do $80 with shipping. Art of the deal right there.

How are the retractors on them? And if they were really used as limiting straps I’ll pass.

No they were not. They're good

I have decided to go with new belts, after thinking on this, this is one of the parts that I feel better about buying something new and spending the money on it.

No worries, I can understand that.
