I found a kit with the correct lengths for square body trucks and amazingly the correct carmine red. I'm happy enough with the belts function and look but I'm an original belt purist so this hurt a little. The install didn't go perfectly (more old truck problems) and we ended up removing the seat to cut a frozen bolt. Since we were there we cleaned the floor and interior and removed the seat cover to see what we were working with. We found the original seat in decent shape, at least nothing a little duct tape can't fix for now. It's all back together and safer for daily driving. We're looking forward to a complete interior re-do in the near future.
Sorry you felt like you had to waste your money on the aftermarket belts, but I could have sent yours to get rewebbed. I also have several sets of CarmineRed that are in pretty nice shape. And if you still wanted new webbing, we could have done that. Like this set I had, Real nice set. But they are spoken for now. Just like this Black set, they got new webbing
On a side note, show a better picture of your old set, I maybe interested in them. They can still be salvaged or use them for parts.

Re: "Carmine" '79 GMC K15

Well yeah I still may send you the belts anyway. The truck came with an extra set, also in really poor shape but I figure you could use the parts and there might be one good set between them, but definitely will need re-webbed. I'll keep you posted. Had to get something done ASAP as son #1 has been driving this thing every day.

P.S. I'll get the Igloo Playmate cooler loaded up with Coors Banquet stubbies and grab the fishing gear, what time are you swinging by?
