Seat Belt Latch
Hey Guys,
My seat belts on my '68 are flopping around and getting caught underneath the seats. I saw this image from a '67 that has latches to hold the belts in place on the console sides. Was this available all years? Why didn't my car come with them? Are they available? Thanks Greg |

It was an option that I think came with the deluxe seat belts (metal instead of plastic buckles). You can get them from the restoration parts places.

I don't know what years they were used on but Classic Industries has them for $17

I see them listed at Classic Industries. Funny, the listing says 1967 Firebird. Maybe they weren't offered in '68? Although I can't see why.

One thing I didn't check was to see if the buckles were the same size. Did they change the seat belts in 68?

I believe there's a template on FGF on where to attach them.

I don't know if '67 & '68 have the same size buckles, but for the cost involved, why in the world would they change them?
The template will certainly help for location, thanks. |

I don't believe there was a year to year change but the shape of the buckle itself may be different between the regular and deluxe versions.

My PHS documentation lists under Options and Accessories: seat belts, custom, front & rear includes front shoulder belts. Would these be the deluxe belts?

That is the same ones, stainless rather than plastic and color coded.

OK, this is what I have.
Deluxe, yes? Damn, my POS phone won't let me load a pic of my belts right now but they are metal/stainless latches, not plastic. |
