Can anyone list the standard seat belt part numbers (label numbers) for a 1970 E-Body? Thanks.

Your picture helps a lot, thanks. If I made out the 7-digit numbers correctly, I think I have everything figured out:

2999587 (4749) - Front lap, male, with retractor
2999588 (4747) - Front shoulder, male
2999585 (4752) - Front lap and shoulder combined, female

2999631 (4770) - Rear lap, male
2999631 (4770) - Rear lap, female

I also have:

2999596 (4760) - Does anyone know if this is for the center belt for a bench seat car? My car has buckets, but most of the original belts were missing so I tracked down some extras and these were included.

You are correct! Those part numbers are the center tunnel belts in a bench seat equipped vehicle!

Someone took the seat belts from my car when I bought it. The car is a Hamtrack built car. Production date is April 21, 1970. E-body convertible. Would should the date code be on the seat belts? Thanks.

Hi Ken! The date for your seat-belts should be the first quarter of 1970 or 1-1970. It is also possible that they could have been the fourth quarter of 1969 or 4-1969. Hope this helps!

(I will give you a call to discuss those other decals tomorrow afternoon if that works for you.)

If the originals are gone, there is no way to know for certain what it came with.

The low mile T/A has a scheduled production date of 406 & the belts in it were a mix - 1969-3 & 1970-1.

....which is why he needs to default to the protocol build schedule. According to the original manufacturer, seat belts were typically manufactured one quarter behind the actual build date of the vehicle. Varying demand for certain belts caused the mix match in the dates. They used them as they were ordered! His other option would be to play it safe and leave them off!

were the belts provided to the assembly line as sets

or were they in individual bins that the worker had to pull as needed per application/position?

id guess the first option

also, was there a "bin" of spares in case a belt was damaged, incorrect or mistakingly left out of a set?

i would think the above could also provde for out of the norm mis matched sets, of course not to be duplicated when you have nothing, but helps explains some oddities on assumed original cars

thanks
