Anyone sell '72 shoulder belt bolts?

My '72 Highlander has combination lap/shoulder belts but the shoulder harness bolts were removed before I bought the truck. Now I just have really long retractable lap belts. ; ) I can't seem to find any vendors who carry the shoulder harness bolts - mounted at shoulder height behind the doors - and no luck so far from guys parting trucks on the classifieds here.

Does anyone know of a vendor who sells these? They seem to be a little thinner in diameter than typical 68-72 GM seat belt bolts that I'm familiar with from my Oldsmobiles.

Thanks in advance for any leads.

Terry

Re: Anyone sell '72 shoulder belt bolts?

I retrofitted a set of Ford van shoulder belts that I got from a u-pull it yard - used the bolts that Ford used. Standard bolt size that fit my 68 fine. I believe they are a fine thread 7/16 (x20 maybe).

Check out Bruce88's Build thread. He just put in new shoulder belts in his. The whole build is worth checking out, here's a link to the post in question:

If you are just looking for the bolts, 67 seat belt bolts will work.

Thanks guys - I appreciate the info and links, and especially the bolt size. That takes the guesswork out of it.
