Has anybody purchased new replacement factory type shoulder/lap belts for their truck?

LMC shows lap belts but no shoulder belts.

JC whitney shows universal stuff but their website is hosed up today. Had bad luck with them before on seat belts. Pictures are not of what you are ordering.

Any other sources?
 
I bought mine from julianos.com They aint cheap but Ive had em for 7yrs and still retract just like they were new. You can also order them without hardware for ~20 bucks cheaper, the hardware is bolts & stuff plus some floor plates to mount under the floor to spread the load (of course if you are using the factory mounting points you dont need this stuff).
 
I got mine for a 99 chevy truck, had to move the hole, and grind the plastic a bit, and they were kinda $$, but they work.
 
I looked all over about a year and a half ago for one for my truck and could NOT find new assemblies. Know that I think about it I might have found once source but they were black and EXPENSIVE...I think. Then I tracked down a semi-local yard with one maroon belt and they even delivered it.
 
I've been more than confused why these haven't been repro'd already, and the only thing I can possibly think of is cost vs. liability...probably can't make them cheap enough to sell, yet sturdy enough to trust with peoples lives, especially with the retractable stuff.

But then I checked out Juliano's, and see they do have retractor belt setups, but not repro's of our stuff. At least that I saw.

Don't know what to tell you unfortunately, I believe these were one of the items I tried to get from GM, but were either discontinued, or at best the wrong color assemblies. The locking mechanism is pretty intricate it looked like to me, which is why I think they start to act up with age. If someone was real patient, they might be able to disassemble and reassemble, perhaps making a set of good belts functional again.
 
I'd seen those before. I guess it depends which vehicle you need belts for. The only ones on that site with the right retractor (above the shoulder) don't look like they take the cable ends.

For the K5, if they'd make the above shoulder retractor setup, so it would either mate with the stock K5 end, or so that their cable belt ends worked with their shoulder retractor, it would be pretty decent.

Getting rid of the perpetually broken plastic/cloth femalebelt ends in the K5 is something that needs done. :)
 
ttt! Anyone else come across any good seat belts?

Did anyone here get theirs from gotbelts.com? They're pricing seems alright. I was going to get LMC's, but they're backordered.

I'm going from bench to bucket seats, so I want to make sure they seat belts will work good.
 
Corbeau has a rertractable harness belt that works similar to a stock 3-point style. I was thinking of going that way. You have the option of locking them as well if you need it.
 
I got a set from autopartswarehouse.com or something like that. Not sure how I come across them. Seat belts weren't exactly right. Needed an adapting bracket but they worked.
 
LMC does carry the shoulder belts for the front seats. At least they do in their latest catalog, but they are very spendy. I looked tonight, even though I am doing something different, and they were $89 each for the three point shoulder belts for the front seats. The other problem is the latch itself doesn't appear to have anything to hold it into place, but a small steel strap could probably do it.
