I need the old-school type with the GM logo button on the side, not the later recall-style ones with the red button on top.

Front pair only. Color and style (obviously) not important. Cool

Never seen that style in a thirdgen. I'll keep an eye out though. Even my '84 has the red button on top style receivers. Are your belts even from a thirdgen?

How about getting a whole new set of belts like a thinking gentleman? Very Happy

I believe they came in '82 and possibly '83.

Because I have no center console I will be fine with the receivers from an Elco or Caprice or anything like that.

I think the belts I have came from an '82 because they have the single retractor and the old-style tang. I found them in the trunk of the Bondomaro when I bought it. Laughing

I despise dual retract setups, so my options are to use these or go LT1 and I already have these so... Razz

Cheerio. I'll see if that '82 Berli is still there next time I head out. Or if I can find a set from any old GM boat.

Well know I don't know what to think about these. I decided I should maybe pull them out and actually take a look at them (what a thought).

They are certainly not the old-school wide type. They look like a thirdgen buckle but they do not fit into a thirdgen receiver. They have a single retractor which fits into the roof, so they're definitely correct for the car.

I may just make a template and go down to the yard to see if I can match something up. Rolling Eyes

Maybe they are 4thgen belts without the plastic cover?
