Also,if it came with optional seatbelts,what do they look like?
Thanks

Just wanted to be sure
It's in nice shape(just dirty)and glass is perfect,no blemishes at all
Anyone with pics of optional seatbelts fr '64

63sbssbbw · 06-10-2009, 08:11 AM

Finally got pics of the seat belts are they '64 or ??
I kind of thought lilred has probably seen alot of this kind of stuff
thanks,Trent

joe231 · 06-10-2009, 08:26 AM

those look right, but I'm no expert..
I think this is Tony's (LILRED66) busy season with work...maybe he will chime in here.....

63sbssbbw · 06-10-2009, 06:44 PM

I figured he must be busy,haven't seen him on for while,
I'll leave for a while 'til I see him here then I'll bump it
Thanks again Joe

Doers it say Irving Airchute Co. on the back of the belts?

63sbssbbw · 08-19-2009, 06:14 AM

Yes, they do

**aerotruk63** · 08-19-2009, 09:26 AM

63 had a chrome like finish on the buckle. 64 had a painted finish on the buckle. 64 GMC accessories book shows a flip mechanism like the 63 instead of the twist type like you have on your mirror. I know this twist type comes on later passenger cars cause of some convertibles I've seen.

63sbssbbw · 08-22-2009, 06:14 AM

Thanks aero
I've only seen the flip type
never seen one of these twist type

These are not very close, but here is what the factory belts look like. I am not aware of a factory set for this era of trucks with the bowtie medallion on them like yours.

In 1966 the Feds mandated seat belts in trucks, therefore they were standard equipment in 1966, along with a 2-speed wiper with washer fluid, as well as reverse lights. Prior to 1966, these accessories were available as an R.P.O. (Regular Production Option) on the '60-'66 Chevy trucks.

63sbssbbw · 08-22-2009, 06:54 AM

Thanks lilred
I also have a set with just the bowtie (no circle) cast into it
Any thoughts on the d/n mirror?

Hey lilred, what is that seat out of in the bottom pic? I'd be interested to put it my truck. A bit of different a different colour though..

The mirror's identical to the one on my 63 GMC; mine has a lot of custom options, don't know for sure if this was one of them?
