and i can't get my driverside to extend without a ratcheting fight. i guess i need to find a place to buy new or used, but i'll watch your thread here for ideas.

Mine are the same way. Bought a set of used belts and they have the same issue, so I never put them in. I'd think that getting some lube into the ratchet mechanism would do the trick, but I haven't messed with it yet. If I have a bunch of slack in the belt, opening the door usually takes care of it. Now, getting the belts to catch in the event of an accident is a whole other issue. I'm confident mine wouldn't.

Lots folks have these issue. Mine so far are just not retracting well.
Mine kept poping open at the buckle. Changed them out for a set of Sparcos.

Sparcos - are those aftermarket? How did they fit?
Seat belts are $7 at the pick yer part.
I wouldn't trust junkyard seatbelts either. Here is a link I found on a quick search:

I have seen them on Classic Chevy Parts & prob LMC too.

Yikes! Those are woven from golden silk worms... We don't need them.

Nice bro! Mine fell apart & I have to replace the entire unit.
I hate my seatbelt too, i should just go back to the lap belts only that came with my 74. The only reason why i went to the shoulder belt setup was for the police to see that I have my belt on.
