I bought a pair of 3-point belts from a lae 80's standard cab S10 for my truck. Hands down the best mod i have done...i feel 10x safer with them.

The passenger side retractor and buckles were a direct bolt in. I used the stock hole and bolt in the floor, and put in a bolt in the threaded insert in the cab roof. The buckle went right in place of the stock and was the prefect lenght too, not too short.

The driver's side was almost a complete bolt in, except i had to drill a hole more forward in the cab floor to bolt down the retractor. I used a big washer, although i proably need to upgrade to a bigger one.

It took me about an hour to get everything end and cost me $30 for the belts plus a few dollars for some grade-8 hardware. Completely worth it.
