Does anybody know what year shoulder belts will fit a 72? I would rather try to find some at a junk yard first & save the cash. Thanks, Mike

I have heard that the chevy s-10 belt's work very well.. A couple of board member's have used em before..

I tried putting in some aftermarket shoulder harnesses (think JC Whitney) in my buddies '73. They did not fit in the stock location, not enough room between the seat and the door. There were instructions included to bolt them to the cab floor behind the seat. Since this was not a re-enforced area did not feel they were safe and sent them back. Thought there would be a similar problem with my 72.
Will the S-10 belts bolt to the stock location with the stock bench seat?

That makes me wonder how good the aftermarket ones that chevy truck parts places sell? Mike
