What are the correct seat belts for an early built 71 Demon with bucket seats? I have seen some with the retractors and some with out?

My '71 Duster came with re-tractors. I can't think of any cars (Dusters, Demons) that don't have them. But then I don't get out much!

ALL the A bodies from 70 and later had retractors, but only the '74-76 had 3 point seat belts that were retractable. The pre-74 cars only had retractable LAP belts.

Thats not true I have a survivor 71 Duster 340 car that was built in feb of 71 and it had non retractable.

Same here. 1971 Duster 340 with no retractors and is is a true survivor.

Survivor owners, what is your cars SPD, plant, and what seat options do you have?

Hmmmm.... I guess it may matter as to where the cars were built?
I had 70 and 71 Dusters bought in a package deal, both totally worn out. Both had original interiors with retractable lap belts. I sold the 70 a few years back, but the 71 remains. I'd have to look at the VIN to find out where it was built.

I have seen both the retractable which my car has with the L4X9 split bench, folding arm rest, and others have the non-retract lap belt that you pull the belt tight to adjust.

My Duster is a B plant car with a bench seat.

I have worked on a 71 Demon with shorter retractors (only like 1") than other 71's, anyone else find this issue?

I think the early production cars with buckets had the retractor type. 70 left overs? My 68 Hemi Charger was a very early car and it had 67 chrome seat belts.

i did a bit of research a year or so ago and it could have came both ways non retractor or short retractor, the service manual is no help and just has generic pics of belt layout, there was a specific retractor for the bucket seat that was shorter than the bench style, it looks exactly like the bench style and the same amount of belt pulls out from both but its about half the length, i found a pair for my demon after looking a long long time.

heres a non retractable in a survivor i think the owner told me it was an april spd, notice the late style seat button.

a

heres a pic of the BENCH style i had in my car, the bucket style looks identical but the chrome buckle is only as high as the bottom of the hinge side cover. (i dont have a pic of the correct retractor yet)

Thanks for the pics. I seem to have a pair of bench retractors and a couple sets of the later style. My car has the early seat backs so I guess I need to find a set of early bucket retractors. My VIN is LM29H1B150888 built in Sept. of 70.

My car is a January 71 with bucket seats and no retractors. How do you tell the plant from the VIN or do you have to get it from the build sheet?

It's in the VIN, seventh digit

I have a 1971 Duster, buckets with
non retractable belts built at Hamtramck.

7th digit on my 71 Duster is a "B".
