How about a chrome button head bolt?

I've thought about putting a cover over the holes back there and a fire extinguisher on one side then maybe a jack on the other for the spare tire.

You could make it out of anything you wanted. I haven't gotten that far with my project but either using fiberglass and wood you could build something.

mount the fire exstingquisher using the hole on the passenger side, IMO itll look cool sittin there, and putting a jack back in the corner wouldnt be to bad of an idea, atlest if you have a spare tire to

This is true. I plan on using this space to house a couple 6.5" or 5.25" speakers and tweets when I get to that point....Heck, by the time I get to THAT point all humans will have wireless speakers built into their ears at birth and we will all be living on Mars....

I think if you did a search you can see some of what others have done with the speakers there. I think I saw 1 or 2 different trucks some time ago. Maybe do a search on stereo systems or subwoofer box.

You can`t remove that hole!Sorry,it`s like the tag on a matress.There are shoulder bolt hole police out there

if you put a fire ext there... then i feel sorryfor the poor sap that would ride in the passenger seat.
Just put some stock factory plugs in there and you'll never notice them again.

where can i find the plugs

67ChevyRedneck · 04-30-2007, 04:18 PM

How about some 3 point seat belts

Face plants into the steering wheel or dash hurt like hell. I know from experience

Longhorn Man · 04-30-2007, 08:00 PM

I don't think they are made through the aftermarket... but every truck either had a plug there, or a bolt for the seat belt, so I doubt thry'd be too hard to locate.

drman929 · 04-30-2007, 09:52 PM

If you find a parts guy that will use a book, he can get you some small chrome cap type plugs that would work awesome.

If it ever goes on the street, you'll wnat to look into the local laws... well, it actually falls under federal law, but some places don't enforce it.... 4 point seat belts are not DOT certified, and are therefore not street legal.

SCHROTH makes 4-point harnesses that are DOT approved.

I agree with Andy on using factory plugs. It's cheap, easy, and looks great.

Longhorn Man · 05-01-2007, 05:22 AM

I'd still look into it, and read the DOT certification on that, it's not a blanket coverage.
