Re: 60/40's with belts
That looks good in there. I had the same in my 70 (I went full bench now) and the belts. They are a great and very comfortable combo!!

Re: 60/40's with belts
How did you do the upper seatbelt mount?

Re: 60/40's with belts
Those look nice in there. If only there was a way to cover the plastic at the bottom.

Re: 60/40's with belts
1) Seats are out of a 88 extended cab.
2) I just drilled a 1/2" hole and used a backer plate for the upper seatbelt bracket. 3) On the bottom of the seat is the steel support, not plastic, and I can come up with a cover to close the hole if needed. Thanks Guys |

Re: 60/40's with belts
Those look good. Those '88 and up seats are pretty comfy.

Re: 60/40's with belts
Could you elaborate some more on the shoulder belt mount near the door frame? How did you get a backer plate behind the interior sheetmetal? I've been wanting to do this on my '66, but have yet to figure it out, other than cutting and welding.

Re: 60/40's with belts
I used a 7/16" bolt, put the bolt thru the seatbelt bracket, put a nut on just tight enough to let the bracket swing loose, then a flat washer. put that assemble thru the drilled hole, reached up the inside wall, added a backer plate, flat washer, lock washer, and nut.
Will this be strong enough in an acident, only one way too tell, and I dont plan on finding out. ![]() |

Re: 60/40's with belts
Thanks. That makes sense. I thought the attachment point was a lot farther up in the corner and just couldn't figure out how you got it there. Now i need to find some seats.

Re: 60/40's with belts
Im 5'-11", and I went 3'-0" from the floor and I could just reach where I needed to. If you are taller you might want to go alittle higher.
