seat belt install advice - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Thought now would be a great time to install some shoulder belts since I haven't painted the cab and the interior is gutted.

Any advice on mounting points and such? I am looking at a setup that has the retraction portion low and a high mount for the pivot on the shoulder belt.

thanks

I followed those directions to a T. My install came out great. I bought mine through julianos. His instuctions are good, but not as good as the ones that 50adrod posted.

I found seats that have the belts mounted to the seat (lap and shoulder). Less fabrication and hassle with belts getting slammed in or scratching the door jambs.
