Question seat belt extender

Anyone know where I can find an extender for the rear seat of my '71 CS? Click-in would be easiest but bolt-in would be okay too.

Dang, that looks like that could be it. Do you think the 72-96 or the 72-75? I would prefer black but any color would work.

I don't know how much seat belts changed over the years.

Maybe you should have installed Load Leveler Shocks instead of the Gas-a-just......... LOL

They had weird year choices. 72-96, 72-75, etc. I think it had to do with the color of the belt. They "look" like the right shape, at least. I'll report on whether or not they fit.

Did you ever find out if the extenders worked or not? I'm running into the same thing in my '71. Larger people are having problems using the existing lap belts in the back seat.

Did you ever pick up this extender? Did it work?
I'm looking for the same thing for my '71 and striking out everywhere.

If you need extenders I'd buy the ones Eric linked years ago. They look to be OE style for a classic Oldsmobile.

FWIW, I bought aftermarket seatbelts for my 71 from a company like the one I linked below. They're cheap imported JUNK! Don't waste your money.

I went to their site. But all that they show for Cutlass are 3 point. I'm just looking for lap belt extenders.

You’d need to verify if those are the small buckle style used on front seat Deluxe belts (without slider adjuster) or the wide style with slider adjuster used on the older rear seats.
I inherited some extenders from mu Pa in Law several years ago and they are the front seat small buckle style.
