Well I scored a set of those buckle holders off eBay - though I want to figure out how to use them for the buddy seatbelts (male/female). Those are always getting hidden in the back / between the seats. While I understand they are for the shoulder belts, mine are the modern type I installed and not factory ones.

Could I have some measurements of the strap / placement of the screw on the cab?

I'd like to come up with a strap to get this into place on my truck. Silly me I started a post about this here: Buddy Bucket Center Seat Strap Measurements / Photo

I emailed and then called up Rick's Custom Upholstery and they are going to do me a one-off Black strap for my center seat. Very nice lady, though if you go my route you'll have to call up and figure out the price. The lady (didn't catch her name) was so very nice.

Repop'ed Buddy Bucket Center Seat brace from Classic Bowties. Kind of blends in with Cab Back/Tank carpet.

To do: Strap and Buckle Stows that are coming to me in the mail.

I over looked this post that there are different "stow" buckle retainers for trucks and cars. I see this now after opening this NOS box. At least they didn't cost to much.

I'm a fan of the bench seat. Mostly because I enjoy having my wife sitting close.

Got my center back strap in and installed. The fuzzy bit has sticky and that is what I am using now, though I image it won't hold long term. Until then, no more back flipping down when I brake and freaking me out ;-)

Got my seats installed today.
The RicksUpholstery.com sets I ordered turned out very well.

Just thought I would put a new date on this old thread. Buddy buckets and Sport buckets.

All times are GMT -4. The time now is 03:58 PM.
