seat belts? I would like some 3point seat belts and my truck only has lap belts. I tryed somebelts out of a 77 truck and they are'nt even close. I read somewhere that s-10 belts would work but I'd like to know what everyone is doing. I can't find any s-10 belts on my yard and I have crushed out about 50 of those. I found some in the parts cat. are they just one side or both? Jim

I bought new retractable 3 points from Wesco. Not bad, it was $62 each side.

I think that you would be taking a safety risk to use something out of a junk yard.

I have the s10 belts. They are from the earlier s10 models with the single bolt mount. If you are a bigger person, you may need to find a way to lengthen out a bit. I have no problem using them, with all the cash for clunker cars in the yards, mine came out of a s10 that didn't even have a dented fender. Driver and passenger side only cost me $10.00.

Thanks for posting these photos. I've been looking at these belts as well. When you bought the belts, did they come with mounting hardware or did you buy new? My '72 has all the holes in the right place, even for the shoulder harness, but I'm curious if there is a safety issue using existing bolts, etc.

The 70 I just acquired has what looks to be a mounting point for a 3-point seat belt/shoulder harness on the B-pillar. As it's several hundred miles away right now I can't check or take a pic.

Anyone pull the factory plug on this mounting point and determine it's for a shoulder belt?

The B-pillor threaded hole is for mounting the shoulder belt. it is a 7/16" fine thread IIRC.

I have a 69 and the B pillar mounting hole is there and it is a fine thread. A flywheel bolt will fit (if you need a size to compare it to).

I'm doing jury duty and serfing this great site. I love it. This is whats keeping me awake.

I thought I read that the s-10 belts were a tight fit. I am 6'2 and go in at about 360ish, so I need all the room I can get! Those from wesco may be the ticket I have buddy buckets in this truck and did try some late model in my 70 it was rally cramped but I have put in a tilt that is almost all the way down [towards the dash]. I do have the anchor in the B-pillars for the 3 piont system and it is a 7/16 fine thread the floor is 1/2 coarse. Jim
