I'm getting ready to install a seat out of a 88-94 in my 67. I still have the tank in the cab. I see several people mounting the 88 and up style seat belts in. How are these being mounted ?. Are the floors being drilled and reinforced?

Re: Seat belt mounting?
On the passenger side you can use the factory mounts, driver's side you'll need to drill a new hole slightly forward of the factory hole and brace it. I made a plate of 1/8" steel and bolted it to the factory seatbelt hole, then drilled the new mounting hole. I don't have a lot of pictures from it way back when (2002/2003). I did not try this with factory seat, I used the seat from a 92 regular cab, which is where I got the belts from. The belts from the extended cab work better, as I found out later, as the housings are thinner. Middle belts work fine in stock holes although with stock seat you may need to use a longer grade 8 bolt and about a 1" spacer.
With the tank out they fit much better and use stock holes.

So I'm not sure if the retractors I have are different or something but with the mounting tab on the side I don't see how they could be mounted with the original holes..

Re: Seat belt mounting?
Yeah those were likely first set I did. The blue ones. They will work but with the tank you'll need to move them forward of the factory outside mount holes.
