What, if any, are the differences between E Body and B Body seatbelts? I know the E body's are reproduced, but haven't seen any for the B's. I would assume they are similar. Thanks.

The B/E&A belts will work, but they are for bucket seat cars AND the rears do not have a center belt....

Thanks Eric. So for my car, having buckets and a buddy seat, they will work as long as I find a center belt for the backseat? Anyone have an idea what Snakeoyl charges to restore belts?

Ceck this web site out....I met this woman at the Mopar Nats a couple of years ago. Saw what she can do with a set of belts and they are/she is good. Cant remember the cost diff. between her and Snakoil but I think she's better, IMOP She had some belts at the show that she restored and they looked awesome! :D

I remember Sankeoil being about double the cost of the B/E&A repros......they sell for $425 IIRC

Sharon just contacted me that my belts are finished and ready for shipment. Does anyone have any original blue 71 belts they can show for comparison. I'm not sure about the shade of blue on the plastic/rubber components of the retractors and front anchors.
