Original Seat Belts

[RiverPatrol]

Can you get a closer shot of the adjuster?

I don't think the stock belts ever said 'Datsun Patrol' on them, unless that's something I've missed.

Check out the second pic that checkers submitted. Maybe he has edited and added it but there is a description that does say Datsun Patrol....also says TK-656-1A L2/1968 (?). I wonder if these could be from a FirePatrol or something oddball. Takata Kojyo made them so I would say they were for a Datsun/Nissan.
The retractor Ron speaks of is on the female side midway. It does look the era and maybe stock.

Yes, I see the adjuster/retractor on the belt with the female end (my bad in previous post). That's why I wanted a closer shot of it. Is it and adjuster or a retractor?

Now, I have to go look at some seat belts to see what they say...

Here is a couple pics of adjuster "not retractor", and a shot of the tag. Also something i missed, tag says 1966 TK 656 1. Interesting, let me know what you find.

Interesting adjuster. I've never seen anything like that. I am pretty sure it is aftermarket, maybe JC Whitney for the time - it says 'Patent Pending' on it. No auto manufacturer would release something that they didn't have full patent on.

I still have to look at a seat belt. I'll get a picture...

My major concern is, do you believe the belts are original. They say 1966, and they are bolted to a 1966 patrol. The adjusters are cool, but I don't care too much about them. I'm trading These to Keith for some things and we were thrown off by the adjusters thinking the entire belt and all were not original. I'm convinced the adjuster is aftermarket, i just don't want to mislead Keith saying these are original patrol belts if they are not. Thanks

No doubt they are original.

[Coyote Patrol]

Thanks River i appreciate it.

Not original but they mean well.......these were the airline belts, all aluminum, with media blasted logo. Pretty much Trippers idea, thanks dude!
