Not looked too deep into this Adam but heres a few sites that have come up by typing "seat belt extender" or "seat belt extender toyota" without quotes in the google search and selecting UK Pages

Added 10/7/04:
Just so you know, Toyota only makes the seatbelt extenders for their newer cars. I have had a 1997 and a 2000 Toyota pickups and they gave me seatbelt extenders at no charge. They were very courteous and great about it.

However, I now have a 1980 Toyota pickup and my local dealership says they do not make the seatbelt extenders anymore for it. I don't like not wearing a seatbelt, but feel that I have no choice unless I can find an extender or go to the expense of changing my seatbelts to accomodate whatever seatbelt extender I can find. The worst of this is that it puts me in violation of state law, but I do not seem to have any choice. --Carole

thanks for all the info Gary.

I'll be contacting Toyota today - see if they can help.

Just trying to figure out why your truck looks different in the avatar, then i realised - its clean!

Just as an FYI


Did some digging and the extensions are not recommended for baby seats, only child booster seats. This is the same advice on all 'reputable' websites I found.

However, have managed to find a supplier for a complete unit on eBay, if anybody comes across this thread. They are called KPC and have their own website as well and supply securon seatbelts.
