1970 B-body seat belt setup?

1970 B-body seat belt setup? - 05/23/12 07:53 PM

Supposedly the seat belts in 1970 are different from 68/69 for b-bodies but in what respect?

On my 70 Charger (built february 1970) there is just a single buckle on each front seat next to the transmission tunnel which is non adjustable in length. The lap belt bajonet clicks into the buckle and the should belt attaches to the bajonet of the lap belt. The buckle is not a lift-up style like the 68/69 buckles but has a button in the middle. Is this the correct 70 setup?
I've seen pictures of 70 chargers having two buckles on the transmission tunnel side...

What about the rear belts. are they the same as 68/69? how should they be stored?

any pictures of a correct 70 setup?

Sounds like what you have are "Deluxe" seat belts. You'ld have an option code C-15 if the was originally equipped with deluxe belts. I'll post a pic of some deluxe belts for an E-Body, and some standard belts for a B-Body.

Here is info on the deluxe belt option fron the dealer data book. A "fasten seat belt" light is also part of it.
Neat option to have!

Thanks guys but I don't have the deluxe seat belts. Seems like my setup is from a 73 car. Notice how the shoulder belt attaches to the bajonet of the lap belt? Just one buckle on the transmission tunnel side instead of two:
