Seat belts

My 67 is fun to drive, but I sure would feel better if I had a shoulder-strap seat belt setup. Anybody put shoulder strap seat belts in their old truck and wanna share what a good option is ? thanks alot in advance for saving my life.

Re: Seat belts

Not in mine, but LMC sells some shoulder belts if that helps any.

Re: Seat belts

There is also a thread on using belts from an S10.They would probably be cheaper but they would be used and might have some rot.It's your safety......

Re: Seat belts

I bought three-point seatbelts from Seatbelt Planet in Oklahoma City. Bolted right in. Only thing I don't like is when you go to put them on you have to pull slowly. But it's not too bad once you get the hang of it.

Re: Seat belts

I called seatbelt solutions and they made me a custom set of 3 point belts/. they sewed on original style buckles and latches for no extra charge and they look right at home now!

Re: Seat belts

X2 on Seatbelt Solutions. I was going to buy aftermarket 3 point belts but I didn't like the generic looking buckles. So I worked with Eric at Seatbelt Solutions and he made me a super sweet custom set. I sent him my original buckles, tongues and anchors and 2 days later he sent back a complete set of seatbelts for my bench seat (a pair of 3 points with retractors and 1 lap belt). He used 3 panel webbing just like OE. $275 plus shipping was the cost. It was a tough decision cutting up my OE belts, but the results made it worth the agony. Now I have modern safety with a vintage feel. For those without OE belts or unwilling to sacrifice them, Seatbelt Solutions has a nice reproduction GM buckle available. Ask for Eric, you'll be very pleased with the quality and customer service!

I don't have pics yet but member 'blkcorvair' does in his post (http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ket+seat+belts). He deserves the credit for finding this solution. If you'd like a copy of Seatbelt Solutions sales brochure or some detailed pics of their aftermarket GM buckles PM me your email address and I'll send them over. I haven't figured out how to post pics yet - perhaps someone else can post them up for me.

Re: Seat belts

Do '67's have the hole between the door and back glass necessary for 3 point belts?

Re: Seat belts

Do seatbelts from a 73-87 c10 not work? Those are more comon in the wrecking yards around here.
