My 76 also has the dual retractable seat belts. And I’ve gone through the same thing trying to find comparable replacement belts and finding none whatsoever. It seems like there are not many quality reproduction belt options in general, and I figured no one made a direct replacement.

The dealer sheet indicates that some aspect of the belts was an upgrade that was part of the custom/deluxe trim package. Option code ”AK1.” I don’t know if the retractable lap section was one of the differences though.

As far as which belts to put in, I have sometimes found my dual retractable belts to be kind of awkward. At times the lap belt seems to end up ratcheting itself too tight. This may be due to the age of the mechanisms rather than the design though.

If you find good replacement belts I’d love to find a source.
