shoulder belts?
how hard do you think it would be to fix these belts off ebay (item #2400324910) into our trucks?
thanks, -Nick

If you had the right size boldt to fit the cab, I can't see anything that would give you trouble

The fuel tank may get in the way...then you'll need to make a plate to move the anchore out a little bit.
I would check local laws before doing this though... When I was in Tx my truck failed inspection becouse the safety equipment had been modified. (PO had installed a belt similar to what your looking at) |

Andy,
So they looked at your belts that close huh? I don't think I have ever had mine checked out that close. I bought those same belts off of e-bay, i have them stored right now, once I move my tank, I will install them then Sam

The inspector was a truck fan, and he noticed it right off the bat. Made me replace them too.
I will say though...leegal or not, most officers would not cite you for trying to improve the safety, and even more officers or inspectors would not even catch it. I took them out, and never thought about re-installing them. I know the accident I was in was not a typical collision, however, if I had a 3 point harness...I woulda had a back injyry. (my legs and also upper body were thrown twards the center of the dash.) I was wearing the lap belt, but if I had the 3 point in there, it woulda twisted me enough to cause real damage. I sold them to a kid with a 72 and 6 months later he came back complaining about his failed state inspection...he went to the smae guy i went to. Talk about dumb luck huh? |
