Somebody does make them, Brothers sells repo seatbelts like the originals, but I haven't seen anyone selling just the retractor covers.

Thanks Gary, What I am doing is sending my 67 red seatbelts to be redone in black so I was hoping someone would have the covers or know where to get them. Rick

Just my opinion..... I would replace 50-year-old seatbelts with new rather than change color and continue to use them. Structural integrity and aging....

I agree Mike that's why I am having them rebuilt by this company http://www.ssnake-oyl.com/mm5/mercha...tegory_Code=RS . Here's a picture of a friends seatbelts they did. Rick

Re: seatbelt retractor covers?

Interesting. My 69 has two lap belts only, no shoulder belts. The retractors for the outside belt is pretty rudimentary, not like modern three-point set ups.

I will be following this thread to see what's available. I believe my cab has shoulder anchors built into the wall above the seat.

Re: seatbelt retractor covers?

Anyone have new insight on repop boots? I thought I saw them for sale once but now I can't find it.
