ok so i live in mohave county,arizona.

my truck is a 1979 k10.
can i run all 3 lap belts instead of the 3 point shoulder belt?i understand shoulders safer etc,but this is my truck,right?just sayin=D
so is all 3 lap belts legal?

and,in a LOT of pics of trucks interior ive seen a plastic part that screws to your floor or velcro? but its a 2 cup holder,and noone answered me on where i can get one of them at?there cool!i dont want the ash tray one haha.

and another,which is a nooby question,but is the work of cutting up a dash n such worth it for a new radio?or should i just save and buy a new old stock dual knob type cassete radio with aux? would love for opinions on this one.

and on door panels,i gotta ask cause you never know what people think of,is there anyway you can re-condition these?mine are old and the tops like shedding plastic.and new ones are quite expensive.ha

thanks guys in advance,!

Seat belt regulations are a "Federal" issue, not state. But as far as I know, you have to maintain the type of belts they were originally installed in the vehicle.
As crazy as it sounds, a fully race-legal 5 point harness is not an acceptable "up-grade". You are not allowed to "up-grade".

cant help with the belts but cup holders are easily obtainable, krylon or vinyl for your door skins. i just modified a 10 dollar cup holder to fit the trans well and srewed down then siliconed the screw heads underneath. Door skins i painted with krylon plastic spray while i search for new ones and i could care less about cutting my dash,but mine is just a daily and bush rig.
