Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series

I'm going to give a shout out every chance I get for these brackets! I no longer own my Square, but these brackets are first class and fit perfectly. Plus, you're supporting a board member/vendor!

Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series

Jeff, my 1977 C10 does have one of the seat belt retractors mounted to the pillar. The main retractor is mounted to the floor. You have said the early 3-point type seatbelts won't work with your brackets. Have you heard of a work-around for these speaker brackets to work with this seat belt set-up?

That mid mount retractor screws everything up. It’s actually a terrible design, and why GM ran them less than a full year. Ditch them for the 77/78 and up floor mount belts. They work much better, and will work with the brackets.

Received the brackets on Thursday. They look great and well made. I used to work in the sheet metal fabrication industry, so I know good work when I see it!

Hahahaha, I was commenting from your remark about the cost of metals, a 4x8 sheet of plywood that was $44 in Feb is now $64 here. And I thought the $44 was outrageous.

Now I'm thinking about a squarebody-esque stagecoach, thank you for that.

I'll be back to this thread when I am ready to purchase a set. Just wanted to mark it so I can find it in the future.
