55.2-59 Three point seatbelts

[leegreen]

I used 2005ish sierra seats with integral belts. Seats bolted to floor with 4x4 plates sandwiching floor (rounded corners, bent back edges Gr8 bolts)
I'm happy/comfortable but I know these seats are not everyone's cup of tea.

Locations; Do you have your seat and steering wheel installed?
I'd get comfortably located in the driving position and place the belt attachment locations relative to my body using some modern daily drivers as a reference and paying more attention to the angles than the distances.

I'm not familiar enough with the TF cab to give specifics, but for the 3rd point you are going to need to get a large plate with a nut for the belt attachment welded to the back of it up inside the inner skin of cab in the area of the pillar and plug welded into place.
-maybe- glued in place if you have a finished interior, the important thing is that it stays where you need it and has a large enough surface area to stay behind the sheet metal in a crash.

A note on buckle type. I went with the all metal buckle. Think airline seats
And it being a three point it beats the crap out of the door. Lots of paint chips and dings. I would go with a plastic covered or softer covered one if doing it again.
This is mainly caused buy it being a three point instead of two and just getting in hurry to get out. And it slings the belt and hits metal to metal.

2 point belts used to do that too. Driving trucks old enough to have metal inner door panels does not help.

Putting a 3 point retractor in will help with that, at the cost of a 4th mounting point for the retractor https://www.summitracing.com/parts/rtb-369-blk-12
