3 Point Retractable Shoulder Seat Belts

The previous owner installed a set of dark red lap-only belts with plastic latches. They looked awful and were only partially safe. I ordered up a set of dark brown retractable 3 point shoulder belts from Seat Belts Plus. The installation was pretty straight forward. I cheated and watched a video from Brothers Trucks that showed how to install their seat belt kit, which is almost identical to the Seat Belts Plus kit. So, I already knew what I was getting into. The new belts aren't as slick as the belts in our modern daily drivers, but they are almost identical (only much newer) to the 1983 belts in my son's El Camino. They're much safer that lap-only belts and the dark brown color will look a lot better with the new shades-of-brown interior that I'm slowly piecing together.
