Re: Seatbelts?

although i see merit with the thought of not using used belts, i pulled set out of a 82 chevy that i know was never in a wreck (my brother owned it). the bolt hole for the shoulder part was already in my cab, so i just got the correct, fine threaded bolt for it, and bolted it in.

for the bottoms, i cut some 3" x 4" 5/32" steel squares and drilled holes through the cab and put those on the bottom side of the cab, using grade 8 bolts.

IMO, these are better than stock.

the one downside is that there's very little room between the bench seat and the door, so check your placement before you drill for the retractor part.
