Re: seatbelts
Mine came from seatbeltsplus.com via re-sale from FORDification member Danno
, but I assume the install is the same regardless where you get them from. It was pretty simple. I'm a big fella, so I had to get extenders
and I replaced the bolts that came with them because the ones that came didn't work.
On a side note, the shoulder belt upgrade is one of my favorites.

Re: seatbelts
Hello FastKtm51,
Like Seattle67, I got my shoulder belts from SeatBeltPros.com, and I've been very impressed with them. Their quality is excellent, and they're available in some great colors. Mine are bright yellow!
Also, they have a super nice, simple chrome clasp that's a lot nicer looking than the black plastic clasps a lot of other belts come with, I think.
I can provide photos if you're curious about how these look!

Re: seatbelts
It just screws in. You remove the rubber plug and there is a captive nut back there. You may have to tap the threads like I did. I have never done that before, so my one hour job turned into four or five.

Re: seatbelts
So what did you pick for buckle length and web length? Or did you leave it how it was in the wizard no special order.? Apart from the color.robroy wrote:Hello FastKtm51,

Good evening Chaseman, thanks for your question!Chaseman wrote:So what did you pick for buckle length and web length? Or did you leave it how it was in the wizard no special order.? Apart from the color.
I picked out the standard buckle and web lengths--I didn't do a custom order. As for how I decided upon this, I think I just guessed! I asked around here before making that order and heard that some other guys had ordered theirs like that, and it worked OK that way for them.
I haven't actually installed my belts yet, but I'm looking forward to that--they're beautiful.

Re: seatbelts
Sweet! Thanks for the quick reply. I'm excited about ordering them , seatbeltpro seems top notch stuff and safe. I'm going for the nice chrome one although I'm sticking with black I don't think i could pull any other color. ![Thumbs up :thup:](./images/smilies/icon_thumright.gif)

Re: seatbelts
Hey Chaseman, you're welcome! And I wish you the best of luck with your new belts. The chrome and black should look great together!

Re: seatbelts
Funny i just came across this thread, I just finished ordering my 3 points from Seatbeltpro's a minute or two ago ![Thumbs up :thup:](./images/smilies/icon_thumright.gif)
I went with black and chrome pull release like Seattle67 did. Nice and safe now...
Total was $167, no custom orders.
