I just installed 3 point seatbelts in my 67

I love the Lokar shifter, it gets a lot of comments when people see it. It takes a little bit of getting used to because I don't have the indicator, but now I shift it by feel without even having to think about it. I installed one on a 36 chevy street rod I had as well. And yes, it is the 23" "nostalgia" shifter.

Thanks for noticing!

I just ordered my set!

I got two 3-pt. and a center lap belt (all black w/ the lift lever buckle). They were on sale and my total was $163 and some change including the $4.95 USPS shipping! I know my wife will feel better about riding in it now!

Man, I can't wait! I love getting new stuff to upgrade my trucks! The Lokar shifter will have to wait now but oh well.

I'd rather be safe.

Hey seattle, you gonna get a kickback from the free advertising you're giving these guys?

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Brian, I purchased the seat cover from NPD.

2 questions. How does the shoulder belt bolt into the metal up top by the rear window? Is it just bolted through the sheet metal, or is it reinforced more, ect.? If it's not reinforced how strong do you think it is? Will the top bolt hold on in a front end crash? This is something I would definetly want to do on my 67, however I thought the metal was too weak to hold up on the top part of the shoulder belt. I was thinking about getting a seat from a newer truck that have the seatbelts intergated into them since the seats are reinforced to accomidate the seatbelts in a crash. But I beat those kind of seats are expensive and would take away from the classic interior look. But for me it's safety first.

Thanks, Bill

My 1968 already had a reinforced hole (threaded and everything) for the shoulder belt. I'm guessing yours doesn't? But you can see that behind the sheet metal is a place to drill and tap a hole.

Yup, there was already a hole with a captive nut in my 67.

Seeing how I can't pay attention, I too have the holes with the captive nuts already in the B pillar ready for seat belts.

They where covered with rubber caps but they are there. I some how missed them when I was looking over the cab on options for seat belts, as well as just overseeing them for 11 years of owning the truck.

I am glad I have you guys and this forum to post this info. for me. Thanks guys. Bill

I'm glad this post came back up. I just received my set today. I'll have to pick up the bolts for the top tomorrow. These seem to be real nice seat belts.

post picks and some feedback for us once you get them installed

Will do.

Eric, the buckles on these belts will drive you crazy for a while. At first they seem like a total pain to get them to latch, but after you get used to them it's easy. Even my girlfriend, who hated them at first, gets them to latch first try now. Just thought it was worth mentioning.
