Default Seat belts?

I need GM seat belts; don't have to be OEM but must be GM. The silver replacements will do.

Any idea where to get them and NOT get totally raped?

Thanks

The one place I know of will be close to the total rape situation, but they will be perfect Ssnake-Oyl). I've heard of another place that advertises in Hemmings Motor News, can't think of their name right now, but maybe if someone has a copy they could look in there for you.

Since 69's didn't have retractors under the seat, late model camaro/firebird units may not work... I don't know**** Sunwest aslo sells correct repros.

Yeah, I've called sunwest about 10 different times last week (during business hours)- a few rings, then an answering machine. Do these people ever pick up the f***ing phone?

I have a pair of tan lap belts only that I bought from Ssnake Oyl. I recently installed F-body belts so I don't need them anymore. They are not original but function fine. Let me know if interested.
