Re: New Juliano's seat belts installed
 
Do the 3 points come with the female end, or do they use the existing truck's buckles? Do you have any photos of that part?
Also, where did you get them from (sorry if that is a stupid question).
Thanks,
Tim

Lookin' good. They seem to be very compact, unlike the S-10 belts...

I put them in my 69 with a 60/40 from a late model. If I get any fatter I will have to make a longer bracket so the belt is longer.

They look nice.
These belts are definitely on my "yet to get, but need" list.

Re: New Juliano's seat belts installed
 
I have the 3 point belts that came with the 99 Suburban second row seats, but since they are not mounted perfectly flat like in the donor vehicle, the retractors stick/lock when trying to put the belts on...very annoying, the counter weights in the retractor mechanism need to be level. I think I may replace them with the above. Thanks for posting!

I was told you need a roll cage to have shoulder straps. I would love to hear more information on this. My mom is wanting me to have a shoulder strap.

I've got a similar set to put in my son's truck. Got them from ricks pick up parts for $160 for the set( includes a center lap belt). I'm going to have to fab up a different bracket to change the angle on the retractor, and can't install the driver side til we move the fuel tank. So I was a little disappointed, I thought they would be easy install.

$12,000 is a little steep for 3 point seat belts, isn't it! I think I gave less than $300 for my set.

Chevy was smart enough to provide an attaching point in the shown location. Makes the install a snap. However, I did move the lower mounting hole on the drivers side forward about 2" to clear the tank.

Ron,
Was it this way on all of the older trucks, or just your year. I have a 68 C-10 custom i would like to do the same

67, same as 68. Will fit nice. Read the small mod I did above for the drivers side.

If you get a chance to see Ron's truck you will certainly be impressed. He came over to the warm side of our state for a "spring" swap meet. Got down to low 30's the first night and he slept in his truck. Second night was spent in a motel.

Very nice truck. I am very surprised to hear it still has not sold. Everything was first class from what I could see. Now with the new 3-point belts it is just that much better.

Bring it over to the Monroe swap meet in May. Warmer but likely to RAIN several times during the meet.

Nice job - Bob

Re: New Juliano's seat belts installed
 
I'm thinking of adding these Julianos belts to my '71 Cheyenne. After a few months of using these, how do you still like them?

Are they "long enough"? Reason I ask is I put in a set from an 87 S-10, and they barely go around an "average" size fellow. Anyone with some "belly" will have challenges getting buckled-in.

Also, the Julianos website show a "bench" seat version of these that "looks like" the lap-belt" part bolts separately to the floor joint without a "retractor". Does the "lap belt" part on your retract OK?

Thanks for any insight!

Orion, many folks on here have the Juliano's and love them. I have the S-10 belts in mine and the tank is removed so they're both properly mounted in the original holes. In the FAQ- Truck Tech section you'll see a post that I did regarding lengthening the S-10 seatbelt. I'm still very happy with the results and would do it again.

Bob Moore 08-26-2006 11:44 AM

Re: New Juliano's seat belts installed
 
Somebody makes an extension for the S-10 belts. About 10". Several members have used them with great results and could tell you where to get them.

I have been using & selling those belts for years (a little cheaper & with instructions & brackets for our trucks.
They are "inertia locking", so you have to pull them VERY SMOOTHLY when hooking them up. If you pull quickly, they lock up, but you just release and they keep coming. If you get ticked and fight them, they keep stopping.

Hey Bob the truck did sell about 6 weeks after I seen you. It went for 10K to a guy in Salem. I'm doing a 69 SWB at this time. Ron

Re: New Juliano's seat belts installed
 
the passenger side of mine kept getting pinched in the seat (bench seat) when i would fold it down and then put the seat upright. this was due to friends not putting the belt back right. only happened a few times.
no more problem after i went with buckets.
