Seat belts

I would like to replace my lap and shoulder belts in the front seat of my Torino. Right now, they are the kind that have a retractable lap belt and a button on the shoulder belt that hooks into the lap belt buckle. I want to replace them with 3-point belts that have the shoulder and lap belt permanently joined. Anybody know a good source?

I've looked at Dearborn Classics, I wondered if there are others.

Tim 1859,

If you want new you might try this site. I have never purchased from them so I would advise you to check them out closely before doing business. I stumbled across there site while searching for some other stuff and I kept the link specifically because of the seatbelt section.

Hope it helps.

I think it was the KingofAzle who just made some late model belts work in his car. Looked very clean, and beat the hell outta the stock stuff. Might wanna do a search, and take a look at his pics [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

I would check out a junkyard for Ford seatbelts from the late 70's. They also have the inertia reel built in and they are cheap.

Tim,Do as stated above, Look @ 77 or so T-Birds/Cougars/Lincoln Mark V's. You "may" get a woody.

Which reminds me. I seen a dashpad @ a local JY. It was on a 78 Cougar, Was near PERFECT! I have not seen one like that ever in a JY. How is your dashpad Tim?[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img][img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_tup.gif[/img]

I've been looking to do the same thing in my Maverick, but not sure where to stick the reel at... I've got plenty of belt setups for 73-79 pickups, but one thing I DON'T want to do is rig up a seatbelt.

Here's the link to the seatbelt post. Gonna try it this summer on my '69.

I need to go take a look at a late '70's Tbird / Cougar.

The Torino has attachment points on each side of the seat and above the door. I want to do something that can work with those three points if possible.

I appreciate the links. I might just use one of them.

Since I have a '79 T-Bird sitting 10 feet from my back door, I thought I'd save you some time, Tim. From the description of the mounting points in your Torino, the 'Bird belts look like a bolt-in.
