Thanks Ed,

I spoke with Mr. Stillwell last week. He was unable to find any info in his files concerning any of my Jeeps. He did sell 3 of them but he no longer had any documents remaining in his files.

Does anyone know where to find NOS seat belts for the CDN 2 or 3?

Thanks

Go on ebay and look for seatbelts for boats, or aftermarket seatbelts. There are also sites on the net that sell belts. I won't use the term NOS when it comes to seat belts, because they were add-ons for the Cdn2, and there were variations in the replacement belts.

Agree with what Rob mentioned. My take off M38A1 CDN2 seat belts have conventional working ends. The attachment (as I recall) is a two-piece opposing hook with a slot for the belt and connects to an eyebolt on the vehicle. Loosen the belt wrappings, open the hooks, catch one on the eye, and maneuver the other hook to close over the eye. There may have been a cotter pin to keep the two hooks closed. Then tighten up the seat belt wraps and ignore until a restorer asks.

BTW, this thread is about asking for registration numbers not parts advice.

Dave,
On my 67 M38A1CDN2 I installed military aircraft jumpseat seat belts. They have a snap on hook to attach to the vehicle installed eye hook ring mounts, the working end of the belts have a quick fastening/unfastening hook. I got my 4 used sets from a friend at a nearby Air Force National Guard base. They are military issue and fit perfectly in the thought that the military would have used what was available in the military supply system. Here is the info to find them: Belt, Safety, Lap, Troop...Type C-3A..FSN: 1680-01-128-4488 they are 1 3/4 inch white nylon webbing and if you put good used ones in your CDN2 or 3 they will look perfect and be completely safe and functional for everyday use. I also installed 2 sets in the rear of my jeep for my 2 grandsons to use. I attached rings on the bolts that are used to attach the spare tire rack and the jerry can rack. They have been using them since they were 6 and 5 years old.
