rear shoulder belts

[clarkedog]

Does anyone know anything about rear shoulder belts on 69 camaros?  I got rear ones but no front ones just lap belts seems odd. From looking at the rpo options it says only 37 camaros had this option . Is this something special or no big deal the car has the 712 interior Thanks, Scott

Don't know that I've ever seen them in a Camaro. There were 115 cars built that had rear shoulder belts - 78 standard and 37 deluxe belts.
Coupe or convertible? Std or deluxe belts?
What are the #'s off of the tags for the belts?

Thanks!

Hey Kurt ,The car is a coupe it has the deluxe interior there is more info on the car under 69 SS under decoding section this is the car with four leaf springs anyway the tag on the belts reads   Gm

And where are these belts mounted? Do you have a picture?

Thanks!

Kurt the belts are located towards the back of the rear window heres a pic Thanks Scott

Those are the standard front shoulder belts.

then someone shrunk them about two feet cause they dont even reach the front seats. where should they be mounted?
Thanks Scott

You should have a 2nd female strap by the trans hump with label that matches the shoulder.  That is what mates to the upper one.  buckle ends up on your chest.

That makes better sense thought it would buckle low I knew it was too good to be true Thanks guys!

Hi guys.. Old thread but somewhat on-topic..
I'm hoping that someone can reliably tell me what the configuration is of rear shoulder belts..

Is it the latch (male) or the buckle (female) that is on the parcel-shelf-mounted shoulder belt please?
Talking 69, Deluxe belts, in a Coupe.
I thought that they were the same configuration as the fronts -where the latch was on the roof-mounted shoulder belt and the buckle was mounted on the floor at the trans tunnel.

Steve have you  read this? I think you should be able to figure it out from there.

Thanks Daniel..
You know, I glanced over that article and missed it completely. 
Thanks again.

"The rear shoulder belts were installed the reverse of the front shoulder belts; the rear shoulder clip belt was attached to the floor whereas the front shoulder buckle belt was attached to the floor."
