Truck looks very good, but I wouldn't have mounted the seat belts like that. Mounting them directly to the floor can actually compress your spine in the event of a crash. This is the proper way to mount harnesses, and they should only be used for 2 years max. I just dont want to see you get hurt in a crash (god forbid it ever happens in that nice of a truck!) I hope I'm not coming off as sounding like a dick, just trying to keep your safety first.

[80chevyshortbox]

thanks for the heads up. all look into it more, i never knew it could cause harm. lol so the belts basically cant go down at that steep of an angle? what would be a good way of fixing this?

[75ChevyGuy]

Alot of guys run a what they call a harness bar. Just round tube that welded/bolted to the body of the truck. Almost the same way a roll cage would be put in. It looks like you have a little bit of space behind your seat to do it.
That's basically all you need to make one, and they arn't that difficult to do.
http://www.schrothracing.com/sdocs/2...structions.pdf Alittle long of a read, but really good info in that artical. As for the angle you want no more then a 20 degree angle.

[80chevyshortbox]

thanks, lots of great info in there!

[75ChevyGuy]

Always here to help! Any new updates on the truck?

[80chevyshortbox]

none atm just looking forward to hitting a few shows this summer. but there will be a 10 bolt posi 3:73 update soon hopefully.

[75ChevyGuy]

Putting a locker in it?

[80chevyshortbox]

idk what it is the guy who gave me it says its a posi 3:73 but idk for shure maby i should post some pics and maby you guys could tell me.

[75ChevyGuy]

Posi Rear end
Limited slip rear end

[80chevyshortbox]

yea all open it up soon i still gotta take it out from under my parts truck, but i should be doing that soon. once its out i plan on opening it up to check it out and change the fluids. im also gona re paint it gloss black before i put it in my truck which should be some time after september.

the weather is way to nice and im loving haveing the truck on the road so ima wate tell it gets colder out before i rip it apart. i also got lots of leaks to fix so ive been busy cleaning up the mess they make and trying to fix them lol.

thanks for the pics btw all be shure to look back at them once i got the new to me rearend open.
