65 cuda rear seat belts

[BubbaCuda]

Looking for a set of 65 cuda rear seatbelts light blue.

Far as I know there weren't any OEM rear seat belts for that model. You may find the correct color belting and make up some. Good luck

i used some laundry dye. i soaked them in bleach water first for a while to clean then up, then put them in a pot of water, add dye, and bring up to a slow boil for 1/2 hour. let them cool, pull them out and hang to dry. ill post some pics later this pm

I sincerly hope that dye doesn't bleed onto your clothing. Maybe the stuff is better than it was years ago. I bought the black belting locally @ 7 bucks per yard. Gal at upholstery shop did the sewing for me. Like new belts front and back for 75.00 total
Reloading the 68 model retracters was a learning experience.

last time i looked at a JC WHITNEY catolog they had factory style seat belts with chrome buckles that looked like the mopar buckles,,,,and old seat belts ive seen are usually dried up and hard and brittle, not sure on color selection tho,,hope this helps

 

[sweatybetty]

anyone know what the 2 with the round holes are for?

 

['64 Cuda]

Those are to hold the back of the back seat down when it's folded. Fold the seat down, push down on it & hook the round hole over the pointed end of the bar on the back of the seat, one on each end. Flat floor, & the bar keeps things from sliding too far forward.
