Any one know where I can get a drivers side seat belt, the button is stuck down and won't let it lock. Can't really get anything in there....I'd rather replce it, don't want it to get stuck in a bind........:icon_eek:

Are we talking about the buckle? When I worked at the dealer, I pulled a lot of coins out of seat belt buckles. Take it out of the truck and rap it on the bench a few times. You might get paid.

Usually only new belts. Since they are a safety piece you can't buy them used.

Thanks I'll take it out and see whats up....if not I guess I'll hit the dealership....

You can also try pouring rubbing alcohol in it while you have it out and then jiggle the button to work it loose. Squirt a bit of lube in after it dries.

If they are jerked with enough force they lock in place to be throw away. Like after an accident.

Well we've had it over a year (130,000mi) now and it worked all this time.....maybe its just wore out.....I hope.....:icon_eek:
I took it out and its toast, tomorrow I'll search for one.

I am sure there is some online vendor that sells these things.. there are enough folks doing auto restorations that you should be able to find a decent price on some new seatbelts. Go ahead and replace all of them, they could save your life some day.

I think I found one....thank god...:tu:

[mikelemoine]

If you do find a used one make sure it didn't come out of a wrecked truck. Seatbelts are shown to lose much of their strength after 1 crash and you don't want to take a chance.

First thing I thought of.....:tu:

Make sure you get the right buckle shape. They change from year to year. I found that out putting an 01 seat in a 00. The buckles and latches were different...

OK......Thanks
