3-point seat belt install help

I cannot be this stupid. I got the 3-point seat belt and the mounting plates for my 64 C10 from So-Cal and they finally came in. I was looking at them and doing some dry fitting and I can't figure out how they should mount. I know it's much simpler than I'm making it but I have just spent an hour going over every way to make it work and I'm coming up with nothing. I can't find anything with good pictures to show me what to do anywhere.

Please help me.

the black base mounts to the floor boards inline with the back of the seat, the opsite end mounts to the straight above the black end above your shoulder. The small belt mounts behind the seat roughly about the width of 30" or so. When i get home i will take photos of my 66 upper seat belt mount for clearer direction.
HERE IS A LINK TO A HOW TO FOR YOUR SEAT BELTS

Re: 3-point seat belt install help

I can see how it would work easily if it only had the two bolt holes, but it has three. I think I might have a way to make it work figured out, but I'll have to give it a shot tomorrow.

The third tab bolts down to the floor near where the retractor is mounted.

Re: 3-point seat belt install help

I didn't know these trucks came setup for a 3 point belt.

When did they start putting even 2 point belts in?

I think 66 was the first year they came with lap belts and maybe 3 point if ordered. I think my 66 has the upper bolts in the cab and I know it has lap belts.
On my 66 I had to drill a hole and get the mounting bracket up there somehow.
