RE: [Chrysler300] 300B Seat Belts

[Marianne <marianne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys

Re Factory or dealer fit seatbelts.

I am certain that some '56 cars had factory fitted front seatbelts. In fact, in such cars the lower rear seat frame beam has been furnished with special elongated slots with radius ends machine pressed into the frame to receive the webbing on seat belt cars with the belt mount being backed up in turn by cable lanyards & U-bolts securing this same special seat frame beam to the floor of the car at chassis mount points.

The belts have an Aviation style buckle marked Air Associates Inc. on flip release. They are marked with "Mopar" part number "168 5020" with the extra info: "Chrysler corp. MS 3047" and have the Forward look Logo. They are a silvery Grey-Khaki color.

I have seen some cars fitted in an identically neat, factory style in my research, whilst others appear to be fitted from a kit in various incarnations, some being more crudely installed, perhaps being dealer installed, but having same PART NUMBERS.

I hope this information assists and can forward photos to assist.

Best Regards

Hello 300B Fans- Phil Irish here,

There were no factory installed seat belts for 56, nor official chrysler
approved dealer installed items either - at least in 56. I believe the
belts you've got were from 57 and there is no way to say for certain who
installed them. There has been considerable back and forth about the
earliest dealer installed items, but this is the first reference to part
numbers that I remember in all the discussion. Dr. Gill, or John Lazenby may
be the best to comment on that.
Let us all know if you turn up something else.

All the Best 300ing,

Phil
