Seat Belt Holes

[cajuncannon03]

Does anyone know where to get rubber hole plugs for the holes in rear floor area for seatbelts? My truck does not have seat belts and when I shipped off cab for acid bath whatever was in there is gone now. Thanks

i have never been able to save any used ones. i have no idea if you can get new ones or not.

I have seen them in LMC and/or Dennis Carpenter.

Cut mine when I installed shoulder belts -- wish I had not.

[fordman]

your right lmc does have them part number 40-1975 85 cents each.

The ones Fordman looked up are the ones that go in the back cab wall.

I think you're talking about the small threaded plugs that go in the floorpan at the rear, right?

[fordman]

if they are in the floor pan he coul dput a bolt in those holes. i think those are threaded and not seen under the seat.

Fordman, you are correct.

However, if he wants to go back original, I think I have a couple of those plugs.

[fordman]

how did you ever get them out without them breaking?

They are just little rubber plugs that are made like pipe plugs with a square on the top.

They just pulled right out with no problem.

Those square-head easy-pull plugs, in my 67, are in different holes than the seat belt anchor holes. My truck had the original anchors, but a few inches away are these other holes, two of them, with the small plugs.

I do not know why they are there -- wiring access? -- but I did consider using them as locations for separate seat belt anchors if I ever went to four-across seating.

i havent been able to pull those out either without damaging them. the rubber square plugs in the floor are to plug up the bucket seat bracket bolt holes.

Fordman, that's incorrect, from what I've seen. The holes for the bucket seat brackets are not drilled, but they are marked with a dimple in the sheet metal.

I think they are for a center lap belt, as they are just a couple of inches from the standard seat belt mounting holes.

[fordman]

the center lap belt hooks in with the regular belts. the rubber plugs are for the extra bucket seat holes. i wish i had a truck here with no seat i could post a picture.

Fordman, I have to call you on this one. Remember, I'm still in the process of installing my factory bucket seats and doing some other things to my truck. I just went outside and took pictures of mine.

Here's a picture showing the factory bucket seat bracket bolted in, the seat belt anchor hole, and the other holes we've been discussing:

And here's a picture of the plug removed:

The holes for the bucket seat mounts were marked on the floor with dimples, and I had to drill them out to install the seats.
