Are these holes for seatbelts?

Post by Shipp »

I bought a middle seatbelt for my 71 F100. I was planning to double-mount it on the bolts for the other seatbelts, but I see there's two holes nearby that look like they're potentially intended for this. I've attached two photos. Is that what they're for? It doesn't look like there's any threading, so I suppose I'd have to put a bolt on the other side...? Seems to me that isn't how you'd attach a seatbelt.

Thats all I did on my trucks is attach the new belt to where the originals bolted. Works great.

Why is it that the trucks are always the best running vehicles in the family?

I may do that yet, but I haven't been able to get the bolts loose.

Spray from underneith with PB blaster and I would DBL up on exsisting bolt---seems how it threads into a welded nut under the cab :2cents:

A good spray down of wd-40 or PB and an impact will take em right out. And yes you can double stack them
