CRittaler Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I have a question regarding the length of the front seat belts. Is there a difference between trucks that had captains chairs and those that hand bench seats? I ask because I've swapped my F250 from bench to captains and i can't buckle the passenger seat belt around me. Now, I am a rotund fellow (6'1" and 330lbs) and this is the first vehicle that I have had this trouble with. I basically would like to know if I should be hitting up scrap yards for trucks or vans and pillaging their seat belts. A second question is: would the belts from a newer truck/van bolt up or does it have to be a bullnose? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzFace2 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I don't have an answer for you but the drivers side, never tried the passenger side, belt is short. Bench seat back all the way, belt checked in I can just reach the Ebrake release because it dose not have enough slack. If I was shorter, 6 foot even, and seat moved up I don't think it would click in? Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove the truck home whe I bought it and I was able to buckle the driver side with the bench setup. I recall it being snug. With the captains seats I can just barely buckle the driver side and the passenger side is a good 3 inches too short. from what I've read online the receiver end is different between captains and bench so I know I need those. Just wnat to know if I need to grab the belts themselves as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I can't answer the question of length, but I can say the part numbers are different, and I'd bet the length is different. Here's what I'm seeing on our page at Documentation/Interior/Seat Belts. So something is different with bench vs captain's chairs vs buckets. And I'll bet it is length.

She leaves tomorrow so I had to quit and snuggle. Anyway, I wasn't aware that there were different manufacturers of the seat belts and that they might not connect to each other. But that's sorta what I take away from that entry in the MPC shown above. Anyone have any experience with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the white sewn on tag on the seat belt for the info. There are three different extensions, each one is specific. At one time, these were free, dunno about today. NumberDummy Ford Parts Specialist 1980/89 Seat Belt Extenders E3FZ61611C22A .. For seat belts made by: Allied Chemical Co. or Bendix. E3FZ61611C22B .. For seat belts made by: Firestone Hamill Decor Division of TRW. These are only available in black. The dealers net cost of both of these extenders is $0.00, the MSRP is $0.01. Now y'all have the Ford part numbers, and as you can see > > There is no charge for these extenders. If some cluck at a dealer sez these aren't available, that's CACA del TORO! I just looked at Ford's in house parts locator system. There are 100's of both of these extenders available nationwide at Ford Parts Depots (warehouses). E2VZ54611C22C .. For seat belts made by: American Safety Co. FoMoCo's computer system says: Obsolete - No longer available. __________________ Bill / Retired Ford Parts Manager / SoCal Chapter Member / Part number research: 1928/89 FoMoCo vehicles.
