Re: Seatbelts (viperjesse)
Have any of you guys out there installed seatbelts other than Corvette belts? I have a 76 and was wondering if seatbelts from any other chevy's would fit and work?
Thanks guys

Re: Seatbelts (6t9l4t6)
I got some rear seatbelts from a 99 Firebird and put tem in my car. Failly simple to do. Any rear seatbelts from a 93-02 Camaro or Firebird will fit. They only have one retractor which mounts be hind the seat where the shoulder belt is now. The strap will fit through the hole in the seat once you remove the buckel. Then you bolt the end under the seat. The new seatbelts also increase the amount of strap compared to the originals for those that are X-large.
There is a picture on my web page fom before I put the strap thruogh the hole in the seat.

Re: Seatbelts (viperjesse)
Welcome jesse.
The Camaro/Firebird belt is pretty popular. It's a direct bolt-in for '70 through ??? (late 70s?) C3s. You need the REAR belts out of a '93 or newer F-body. They'll bolt right in as mentioned above. Certain years/styles have special issues regarding routing the belts through the seats, but I believe most all of those issues have been worked out by people in here.
Do a search in the archive for 'belt' and you'll come up with lots of hits of relevant topics.
