Default Deluxe seat belts for a 70

I am looking to convert my standard seat belts into a deluxe set, and ask someone to
please post some pictures of a set of deluxe belts for a 70 Firebird.

I have seen two different sizes of deluxe buckles, with the smaller ones requiring a fold in the fabric before it is looped through the buckle and sewn.

Just on that point, are the buckles from an A body the same?

From what I have seen, the smaller buckles are from '73 and later firebird. I know the standard belts in the A-body have the same buckles as the standard in the Firebird but I believe the belt lengths are different. Not sure on the deluxe belts.

Also, you will need to change the male belts to go to the deluxe set too. The deluxe male ends have a small square hole whereas the standard ones have the larger rectangular hole. They will only clip into their correct female counterparts.
