3 point seat belt hole - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

85burb · 01-02-2011, 02:43 AM

Do all 67-72 chevys and gmc have the threaded 3 top hole? The wife is looking at getting one for her dd and needs to have a car seat in it that uses a 3 point belt. Thanks.

jayman68 · 01-02-2011, 02:49 AM

I don't know about all, but mine does. It's a 68, pretty base model too. Good luck with the dd

Mike Bradbury · 01-02-2011, 03:01 AM

My '69 has them also.

**leddzepp** · 01-02-2011, 03:23 AM

I have seen 67's with them, so I would say yes.

**special-K** · 01-02-2011, 09:41 AM

Yes,they all had the shoulder belt mounting points.

cpetersen · 01-02-2011, 10:16 AM

The hole is threaded? Is there a nut on the back side?

hugger6933 · 01-02-2011, 10:49 AM

It is a anchor for a belt. The size is 1/2 fine thread[ my 68 is anyway] I belive that the belts were not mandated by the goverment until 71 model year if I recall correctly what I have read. Jim

cpetersen · 01-02-2011, 10:54 AM

I always thought it was just a plug? Good to know, I can just go to Chevy and pick up a new harness.

bosco200 · 01-02-2011, 12:31 PM

My 72 has them.

85burb · 01-02-2011, 02:08 PM

So every year has them and they are threded already great. Thanks for the fast input.

My small window 67 C10 is as base model as they came and it has the mounting points for the shoulder belts with plugs in them.

I think it would be safe to say that all the 67-72's have the capability to have shoulder belts installed as it was probably an option for all the years.

What 3 point harnesses work for these years of trucks? My girlfriend is uncomfortable riding in my truck without seatbelts

so i figure i need to get some before next time i go driving around. Are there any that just bolt up that are easy to find.

I'm wondering that myself..I found these (link below) but I'm not sure if they will mount up correct..If anyone knows please advise...

LMC trucks has the three point but they are 90 bucks each..I know there is no money limit on safety...

Here's one I was thinking about getting.

hugger6933 · 01-02-2011, 08:58 PM

Those from the link above[ hid counrty] look really good for the price. They don't really look factory like they would have been there since the late 60's but, I"m not really going for that. The price is about 50 bucks per side cheaper than anything I've seen . If any one has tried these to know for sure post it up. I will be calling them soon. Jim

i just got some samples in from here lots of colorshttp://www.seatbeltplanet.com

Boneyard · 01-02-2011, 11:42 PM

Nice to see more color and buckle choices. They have some great options. I like this mounting hardware http://www.julianos.com/anchor_plate.html but not sure if it's just a gimmick to sell their product. I guess you have to buy the hardware separate anyway.

**FL71C10** · 01-03-2011, 12:01 AM

Has anyone installed something like this with a center lap belt as well?

I will keep an eye on this thread. My son wants the 3 point belts in his 67. His truck has the CST factory buckets so I guess we would want to use the web stem instead of the ridged stem. Any opinions? Sure wish the cheaper belt company made the metal push button buckles like the more expensive belts.

hugger6933 · 01-03-2011, 09:05 PM

I did'nt get a chance to call today, had to go pick a new wreck I bought. I borrowed a International rollback from a friend of mine to go get this truck and it has belts in it that look just like those in the pics from one of those advertisers. Just a thought there may be some possibilties there for a used seat belt. Jim

Id say a couple eye bolts with some free pull strap tie downs for quads and bikes that i got from bike bandit would be my personal money limit for safety if it were just me

shiner2001 · 01-04-2011, 04:51 AM

I ordered a set from Ecklers, about $200 shipped. They also have the GM logo button, which I like alot. Comes with all the bolts needed to install. Also, my 72 had the holes for the upper mount as well, but it sounds like the consensus is already that all 67-72's do. I've had my belts for a few months and haven't put them in yet...maybe that's tomorrow's project

gkesseru · 01-04-2011, 11:14 AM

I installed a set from WESCO performance, and the price was very affordable. All four floor points needed an L bracket. See final page of my build thread below my signature for the results. They look and work great. I did have to drill one new hole for the driver outboard retractor, since the gas tank was in the way.
