In 69 convertibles ordered with deluxe belts, used the same smaller self adjusting lap buckles up front as coupes. Early cars had a release knob on the retractors.
There were 4 belt options for 69 Convertibles:
431 Deluxe belts with front shoulder $36.86
432 Deluxe belts with Front & Rear shoulder $63.19
434 Deluxe belts no shoulder $10.53
438 Front Shoulder belts (no deluxe) $23.17
(you could not order rear shoulder belts without deluxe)
Deluxe belts in 69 netted you Bright metal buckles, self adjusting lap belts for driver and front passenger, color matched to interior
Convertible front and rear shoulder straps are the same part numbers, they just mounted differently. Also convertible shoulder straps work the opposite of the coupe equivalents; the female buckle is on top instead of the bottom half of the straps.
The non deluxe front shoulder belt did not come with the retainers on the rear armrests as seen on deluxe shoulder belts.
