68-69 Shoulder Belt question.

rarefish · Jan 19, 2018

Does anyone know if the shoulder belts used in the bucket seat cars were the same length as the ones used in the bench seat cars. Digging through my parts, I found an extra shoulder belt that has a part number on it 2953961 and a date code of 1968-4.
I compared that shoulder belt to the in my Charger and it looks similar, but has a different number and it is about 3-4" longer than the one in the Charger.
Could the belt be maybe for for a B-body bench seat car?

Can you post pics? I don't think I've seen pics of original shoulder belts.

I am considering putting modern belts in my car.

The difference is likely between a 2-door and 4-door car, not bench versus bucket.

Here is a picture of the 1968 4th quarter shoulder belts. On contacted a friend who has a 1969 4 door Coronet and the shoulder belts in that car are # 2945155. Maybe the longer belt # 2953961 (the one in the first picture) is for a C-body?

What about a shoulder belt for a convertible?

Can someone post a picture of a 68 charger shoulder seat belt mounted in the car, I am missing mine. Wonder if they are worth purchasing. I have hardware mounted just missing the shoulder belts. (Blue interior)

In all the many years of making seat belts, I’ve not yet run into a difference between a bench and bucket seats, as far as shoulder belt length goes. The length is different for a wagon, but I’ve not yet seen a length difference between a bench and bucket seats. Best of luck, Bill Edwards
