Whitaker717 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I am looking for a tan, bench seat, drivers side, female seatbelt. Mine is starting to come apart because some of the plastic is broke. It does have the AMC logo on it. I have some guys checking for me but thought I would check just in case. Thanks!

Whitaker717 Posted December 2, 2023 Author Share Posted December 2, 2023 Since I’m having no luck finding one, does anyone have recommendations for replacement belts that have worked for our trucks? I have an 87 with a bench seat. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I do wonder if 80s GM trucks would work. those have got to be easier to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Those are Bendix buckles. Also found in Fords. AMC’s I think was just in house production until the Chrysler buy out when they swapped to the bendix buckles like GM and Ford.

eaglescout526 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Oh yeah you can. They are all over the internet. New bucket ones are made and I'm sure if you search GM bench buckle or Ford you might find one. AMC on the other hand is going to be your toughest thing if you want to stay original. You will need to scour the MJ pages and see if someone is selling an 86-87 bench seat. Rear 84-87 XJs might work too. I might have some tan rear XJ belts but alot of AMC owners to fix their issue with the buckles coming apart is to just tape it up good and the belt will function as designed.
