I just installed 3 point seatbelts in my 67

[seattle67]

I got these from http://seatbeltpros.com/
Their web site has a user friendly "Build Your Belt" interface. I went with the chrome lift lever type just because I liked the classic look.

(Click the following pictures to enlarge)



All the mounting hardware supplied with the belts is 7/16. This is correct for everything except the shoulder point. The shoulder point on my truck was pre-threaded for 3/8 NC. This was not a problem, I just went to my local hardware store and bought a 3/8, grade 8 bolt (and flat washer) equal in length to the 7/16 that was supplied. (Again, this was necessary only for the shoulder bolts)



I bought one of the "Installation Hardware Kit #1" from Seatbelt Pros, really all I ended up using from the kit was the "L" brackets, but I was glad I got the kit because I needed those brackets to make this work.



This project took me about 2 hours, and that included running to the hardware store. I also installed center seatbelts but they are tucked behind the seat in the pictures.

I was really happy with the quality of these belts. They were relatively inexpensive and are comfortable to wear.




If anyone has any questions about this install, feel free to PM me or just post to this thread and I will answer your questions as best I can.

Those look really nice. I will have to keep those in mind for my flatbed.

Thanks for the link.

They look great. I've been wanting to do that too. What was tye total cost for the two shoulder belts and the center lap belt and hardware?. Th chrome buckles look pretty sharp.

Those look great. I had seen that vendor's name come up before and was wanting to see someone else who had gone with them who could comment on the fit and quality. I like the chome lift style too.

Cheaper than a mouth of new teeth.

Hey! They are on sale for a $12 saving per belt. I just ordered a set.

I'd encourage you to replace that grade 5 with a grade 8.

Just a suggestion.

That's what I was thinking.

[seattle67]

Ack!

I'm sorry, I went grade 8. Didn't mean to say grade 5. I will edit my original post.

Thanks for pointing that out.
