1960 seat belts

[Greg M.]

I was just working down my list this weekend of things to do on my 1960 Corvette restoration project. Got to thinking of my seat belts and if they were correct. Before spending the "big bucks" to have them restored, I figured that I better make sure they are the correct ones. I don't have mine handy right now, but wondered if anyone could tell me what the numbers on the buckle should be or maybe a photograph? Hoping to get the project done in 2010 for it's 50th birthday! Thank You
