I need shoulder harness seatbelts before Friday for my truck does anybody have any or any ideas where to get them. I need ones that are in very nice shape and that bolt up to a 69's spot i do have the top thread for them so they will bolt up.

I'm not sure about your 69, but my 70 had the top bolt hole there and plugged. If it is you'll need a 7/16" SAE fine thread. I used grade 8 for safety reasons...I highly recommend it in this case. I personnally don't know of any that the where the outside retractors will bolt directly to our trucks spots. Especially on the drvier side. The tank doesn't let them go far enought back. I used a set that came from a 1990 Chevy 1500.

I had swapped sest from same truck. I reinforced the floor with a poiece of 2' wide bar stock...(Iit was 1/4 or 5/16 thick... can't remeber which one). Drill and bolted it to the original rear seat fram holes with longer bolts. TYhe bar was about 8" long. TruthfullI didn't measure. I bolted it in place and then cut it to length by site.

I then bolted the retractors through this brace anf the follr boards. Used as big and thick a washer I could find.

Bolts were 1/2" x 2" longs. With the large washer, lock washer and nut and little RTV seemsed perfect fit.

I got some pictures on my web ste. Just click on the interrior logo and it will show my stuff.

Works real good and pretty simple. Center blet and insides bolted to the stock locations...Although I had to use a 1'2 thread bolt withoot the colar. Collar on my bolt wond't go through the new belts mount.

I got shoulder belts and center belts for $20 at my local "Auto Recycling Center"

Hope that helps some.
