Seat Belt Retractor Mount - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Legolas894 · 04-21-2012, 02:36 PM

I bought some retractors from a board member to replace my aircraft style non-retracting belts. I can't find a floor mounting point for the retractors. The belts are currently mounted to bolts holding the in-cab tank so they are a few inches in from the bench seat rails.

Were all trucks fitted with corner mounting points for retractors? Mine is a '67 GMC. I searched the forum and see others have captive nuts underneath.

Thanks!

Thanks Cdowns. Is there a nut underneath the cab though? It's pouring rain here but I'll look again in the AM.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm wondering the same thing. I bought my 70 C10 without seat belts already in it. I looked the other day and didn't see any mounting points for the retractors or the fixed ends for that matter. Pictures would help greatly. Thanks.
