Re: Seat belt help please

I think you're going to need to make a tracing from another truck, unless you can locate the spot with a magnet.

See if you can find the center of a spot where a magnet doesn't stick (or stick as well). Maybe the filled it with body filler and you can just dig it out with an awl and then a thread cleaner (do NOT retap the hole).

Re: Seat belt help please

I can take some measurements if needed. Send a PM, and another if you figure it out before I get back to you.
Snapping a few hirez pics is easy tomorrow. Getting, or rather thinking, and getting real duplicatable measurements may be tomorrow afternoon
You may be able to find locally a cheap paint thickness gauge (like dave said) (little spring and magnet thing) to zero in once you get close if you like the paint.

The trouble I see is I have rubber and glass so there are no good X, Y and Z reference points to measure from. If you have an assembled truck, this may work ok using say, a straightedge on the lower rear window rubber...
