Here's a link to www.seatbeltsolutions.com from their truck page. Only black is available for bench seats at this time, so just curious as to whether anyone has ever used them?

Have not used them, but make sure you go with 3 point belts. These look like they do not bolt into the factory holes. You will have to drill holes to mount the retractors. The reason the one's from Brother's and others are so expensive is that they do not require drilling and merely bolt into the stock holes using custom made application specific brackets. I used an expensive custom made kit for my 67 Camaro and it was easy to install and feel very safe. For my 68 C10 I am temporarily using junk yard 3 point belts from a Volvo and made my own floor brackets. However, I will eventually go with a custom kit like Brother's sells once I get the truck 100% done.

Here's the ones I'm running: https://www.classicparts.com/prodinfo.asp?number=28-071
Had to take a dremel to them a little bit to work with the factory bolts. Buckle side is a tad short if you have to move your seat forward, but I'm 6' tall so not a problem.

Juliano's has 'em too. But I've also read of folks using S-10 shoulder harnesses. Reckon it comes down to what you can fit and be comfortable.

I also use the Classic Parts 3 point belts and they went in OK but like Sinister says the buckle side (center) is barely long enough to buckle. Also they come in several colors. (I got green LOL)
