Found 2 of these behind my seat while looking for my build sheet.

Did these come with the trucks back then and any body still have these?

Apparently seat belts on the 80’s models weren’t long enough for those of us who are well nourished, ha ha!!

My F150 had a custom mounting kit for the rear bench seat. It raised the seat by about 3.5", and required the use of seatbelt extensions. I liked it so much that I modified my F250 the same way. Mine used steel flat bar stock though. I haven't seen that style of extension before.

Never seen this before. Great idea.

I've seen that type of extension. The one I saw belonged to my grandfather. He was disabled, and could not seat "correctly" in a standard automobile seat. He had Scoliosis and did not sit "straight" in any seat/chair. He had an extension that was similar to this (his was for the 80's Chevy Belts) that with this extension, allowed him to better position the seat belt for comfort/safety, since we wasn't where the belt was designed to be used. I believe they could also be acquired for those, as stated above, are well nourished. However, I am 6'4" and 350+ lbs, and I personally have not had an issue with fitting any seat belt, as supplied with the vehicle. There have been a few that have not had a whole lot of slack once fastened, but they still fastened and worked fine.

I think they also used to be for pregnant women too.

That’s interesting, wasn’t sure if it was something you had to buy from the service department or if they were included in with the truck back then.

those extenders are a godsend on the bullnose trucks for some unknown reason. I too, fall in the fat kid territory.
If the OP doesn't need them, I'll buy them

Used to be a standard accessory you could get from the dealership parts dept, now you have to order them off of amazon.....

This was my grandparents truck and is like a time machine inside, the belt extension just adds to the uniqueness of their old truck.

We have the same seat cover

I had that one, but it didn't last long. Lol
And my seat is slightly different. Never seen another like it.

Yeah mines in rough shape, I use it as a grease rag so I don't get my steering wheel dirty. Driver side half is basically black lol

You can buy those at the parts dept. I see many come through my shop.

That seat cover works alright now after my wife added some more straps to keep the back portion of it from sliding down...kept sliding down because of the cardboard on the backside of the seat

as calvin said, the bullnose trucks suck in the seat belt department. my pops(6'1", 360 lbs) cant fasten the seatbelt.
