I think the XV buckle looks more sporty...I would be willing to pay for their name on there rather then the others that look too GM :2cents:

It looks to be the same buckle just with an XV decal instead of the word " press" ?     Click on the picture to get a better view.  :-\

Think I like the standard sash rather than the extended from a looks perspective as well

I'm thinking that one will place the belt higher around your neck area, not so desirable?

Good point but only matters if the longer one can be made rigid I would think...
 otherwise it would pivot to pretty much the same angle as the OE.
Needs investigating

Currently I have belts from a 74 E-Body in my car and it has a 8" drop sash . It also has 2 retractors instead of the one shown?

I'm glad I looked in this thread.  My '61 Plymouth never had seatbelts, so while it's perfectly legal to drive without any, I'd rather not.  I've already been in that rare accident where not wearing one saved my life; I know that'll never happen again so I always wear one.  The all-chrome "airplane style" latch would be perfect in that car...
