Bill,
I have used Beam's lap belts with the lift lever aircraft style buckle. The last set I ordered (Classic Parts part # 28-068) I noticed that the buckle insert end had a shorter belt than what I had used before. This means that when you unbuckled and got out of the truck, the metal end would not fall and hit the running board. This leaves a chip in the paint when that happens. The latch end of the belt is long enough, unless you are really large. About $25 per set. Always install the shorter belt towards the door so you don't have the latch end clunking down on your nice running board.
