If that is true, what political office do you hold? Or are you a lawyer?

Re: A Long Time Coming: Shoulder Harness found in my town junkyard
OH
I did cut the inner shaft down in length. And I made sure there as some room for the shaft to collapse, just in case. And my column is pressed all the way to the dash too. Now to find a good way to mount seat belts... Mick |

But when I was helping my buddy on his race car (building & pitting), the belts had to be re-certified, or replaced, every other season. It may have been every season. It's been too long, I just don't remember exactly. But I know they had to be tested & certified. I don't know who did the testing; "Not my job, Man!"

Re: A Long Time Coming: Shoulder Harness found in my town junkyard
Well, I took the plunge and dyed my belt covers to match my interior. Came out very very nice. Cleaned and scrubbed them very well before using some ppg Medium Blue Poly in my airbrush. Let me know what you guys think. Trevor

Re: A Long Time Coming: Shoulder Harness found in my town junkyard
Trevor good find! I am going to agree with special K I've seen more shoulder belts in ambulances than any other kind of truck however I do know where a set of blue ones are in a utility bed 3/4 ton I think it was a fleet truck like ga power or bellsouth phone company. I'm sure there shot the truck has been sitting in the woods for at least 18 years I saw them over 10 years ago and asked how in the heck did you get this truck this deep in the woods.someone stole the doors off the truck before I saw it and it has been sitting open ever since.

Re: A Long Time Coming: Shoulder Harness found in my town junkyard
72armyswbtruck- Just got them from a hometown scrapyard that I think is called Osage Salvage, ran by a guy by the name of Dean. Heck of a nice guy. They only have about 3-4 trucks of this vintage in there though. Anything you are looking for, maybe I can help.
Mike, you wouldn't want to pull what's left of those seatbelts for me would ya???

Re: A Long Time Coming: Shoulder Harness found in my town junkyard
You were looking for blue seat belts? Don't you guys check flebay?
I sold seven blue GM seatbelts on flebay for $35 plus shipping, a few months back. I think they were from the late 60s or early 70s. Oh well, next time.

Re: A Long Time Coming: Shoulder Harness found in my town junkyard

When I went looking for shoulder type seat belts at the junkyards. I was told that, that is one of the first things taken off the trucks. Then again, all the seatbelts won't save my ass, if I don't get around to bolting down the seats

Re: A Long Time Coming: Shoulder Harness found in my town junkyard
Trevor long story I've thought about just going and getting them but my conscience wont let me even though I know nothing will ever be done with the truck I just can't make myself do it, and the owner would'nt understand how I knew they were there if I asked him about them. Afriend of mine who knew the owner showed me the truck way back and the owner kinda freaked out when my friend told him that the doors were missing back then.I know he has had tons of stuff stole from him over the years he's one of those guys that keeps everthing he has ever had that he thought would be worth anything. next time I see him I may try to bring the truck up and get him to let me look at it then ask him about them,but I'll have to do it before the spring green up because it is deep in the woods.We'll see... Mike
