I have 3point belts in my 86, and it is the law to wear your seatbelt. But I have to confess, a lot of times I don’t put it on. Not sure why, I just don’t when I’m just cruising around town in Big Red.
I have some 2 point belts, if your interested. I usually salvage all the belts I can, no matter what style, although the lap belts are more rare. But I restore them, so maybe I can do a set for you, if I have the color you need. I have a thread that I started not too long ago, about restoring them, a lot of before & After pics. I was posting them on my build thread, but I finally started a thread just for the belts.

TKCR, thanks again for the info. It would great if I could put 2 point lap belts in my truck. Cause technically, some 76's had lap belts anyway, so cops won't know the difference. And I have to confess too, I rarely use my seat belts either, mostly cause the 3 point ones with the black box retractor lock up on me and are tight and annoying. So lap belts will be a welcome change, and I'd actually use them, which would be better than using nothing like I do now. Plus I have a long beard, hate when the shoulder belt gets in the way lol, so if I use shoulder, I always tuck it under my arm.
I definitely am interested in a set of 2 point lap belts from you. I took a look at your thread and the ones you've done look great! I'm looking for blue ones or green ones. Haven't decided. What colour blues do you have access too, and what colour greens? Also how much would it be for a set?
