Re: Who makes a decent seat belt that fits our old trucks??

If I wanted to get rid of the brackets I would order new seat belt anchor plates to move the mount holes forward. Which probably would be the right way of doing it.

Now I have been happy with the seat belt setup. They lock up in a panic stop and keep you from flying forward and I do feel better using it over just a lap belt.
I too have the Morris Classic Concepts, which I got a set of one of the last "GM" buckles. Though I wished they were blue GM

Anyways, I have been happy with them but they do lock easily. I am used to it (mostly) but new riders do get frustrated. I hope the site is true to their word and testing that these are safe but I have wondered about the "cantilever" (which is a new word I just learned). I suppose the question is, is the below statement just the seatbelt on some test rig or installed with the in our application with the cantilever bracket? I suppose if I come up dead after a wreck, I guess we'll know.
