This was mentioned on the HAMB but I wanted to add my endorsement of Juliano's Hot Rod Parts, Ellington, CT. They are really great people to do business with and have excellent products at competitive prices. Their catalog also has complete instructions and pictures on installing a 3-pt system in a 50 Ford. I've had their seat belts in my 50s for 10 years and am very happy with them.

I use Simpson or Diest. They will tell you any of the engineering specs if you ask. THE MAIN THING IS, THEY ARE MADE IN THE USA. Get your wallet out and buy the best. We don't want to read about you in the obits. |

I use genuine junkyard parts. The 3 point seat belts in Henrietta the '38 Ford pickup came out of a '70s Chevy pickup. Price was right (free) as a friend was junking out a full-size Chevy pickup that was rusted to pieces. They were easy to adapt to my truck.

Another vote for Juliano's. Top quality products with a wide variety of colors and styles.

Got a set from Juliano's last year. They sent color swatches so I could pick the one that matched best. Got the lift latch buckle like airline seats so they look plausably period correct. Great support plus parts for installing on a 40's Ford. Got the 3-point system so I'd feel safe. Looks factory, works great. When you look at them, you actually have to stop and think a moment that Henry didn't make it that way. Another extremely satisfied customer. Ask me if you have questions about installing them; it actually went better than most car projects which normally take me 3x as long plus another 2-3 parts orders. I see this thread started in December 2010, but whatever. Nothing wrong with a shout out to a good vendor. Last edited by SoCalCoupe; 09-17-2022 at 08:10 PM. |
