Re: [Chrysler300] seat belts in 300F

[paulholm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

and I have pics of the seatbelt floor hardware that was used in the
early 60's for a lot of dealer installed sets, both the Mopar pieces
and what was probably available locally to the dealer.
I don't think there were too many manufacturers then.
AND YES one of those also made airplane seatbelts
Irving Air Chute Co.
I think they had to meet some federal specs as well as some ASE specs.
It's quite possible that all car manufacturers outsourced their seatbelt needs.
