    Starting to get more interested in making my Buick presentable. And one of the things I am finding myself in need of, is SEAT BELTS!!

    The front passenger buckle is broken, it's innards scattered across the 4 corners of my floorboards. Checking out the back seats while cleaning revealed that I am also missing the buckles in the rear for the right and middle.

    Any idea where to start looking to figure out what seat belts are a direct replacement?

    It's a '74 Buick Century 4 door.

    My brother found a '73 or '74, same car, different color, in PA...easily less than $300. I just have no way to get the parts down here. It's got a 4 barrel carb, white interior, and I presume, seatbelts ): Why can't I find something like that locally? :af:

    Ok, I removed the rear seat to see how the seatbelts are attached, and guess what I found? TAR! Oh, and the seatbelts were tucked far under the cushion. So I actually DO have rear seat belts.

    However I still need a front passenger buckle. I'm wondering if I could just use the innards from another buckle, since everything otherwise seems to be in good enough shape. Probably the easiest solution.

    Considering that the belt fabric has aged for 32 years now, I would go with new belts! (Does not make sense to buckle up with belts that tear apart when they should hold you. :pp )
