Good Articles in Custom Classic Trucks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bluec10 · 01-09-2006, 02:09 AM

I just picked up the latest Custom Classic Trucks magazine - the issue has a blue '72 on the cover. There were a number of great articles in the magazine. One that interested me and actually interested my safety conscious wife was the one about installing new lap and shoulder belts in our trucks. Good article and the supplier seems to have a good product for a good price. Also liked the articles about cab sound proofing and window trim installation. FYI...

Yeah, pretty basic install. I used the s-10 seat belts with no problems (other than making an extension out of stainless).

Bill72BB · 01-09-2006, 02:48 AM

bluec10 : if the article had shoulder belts that bolted to the original seatbelt holes with the tank in the truck ,you might want to post the Vendor info.
There are several members who have asked about shoulder belts that are a direct bolt in .

I was bummed when I paged through mine. Seems someone in Honolulu already finished their longbed 68 and got a nice spread too. Hopefully I'll get mine to mag standards.

I thought about you when I saw that article. I spent 4 years on Oahu and I don't remember seeing any of our trucks.

ChevLoRay · 01-09-2006, 11:43 AM

The belts came from ECE, but were sold by The Truck Shop, I believe.

I've seen that truck at a couple of the car shows here in MO, and that blue 72, is absolutely amazing. You can tell that he didn't skip one thing during his rebuild. Everything was spotless. Here's a pic of the truck from a show in Riverside, MO

Post away

. What mirrors are those?

72BlckButy · 01-09-2006, 02:39 PM

First thing, you might get confused, the owner of the truck is the guy standing by it in the pic above. The guy cleaning the truck below is not the owner......(I know, I started talking to the wrong guy....)

Here's some more pics for you enjoyment:

Thanks , Don
Do you know if the tank was still in the truck and is that the Truck Shop here in So Cal ?

corn · 01-09-2006, 06:32 PM

It bugs me when you spend the $$ for a sub to a mag & you can get it from the stand before it shows in the mail. How long has that one been out?

bluec10 · 01-09-2006, 07:22 PM

The seatbelt article featured products from a company called The Truck Shop Specialty Conversions out of Fullerton, California. Their web address is http://www.buckle-up.net.

kingsolver72 · 01-09-2006, 07:28 PM
