I want to install a middle seat belt in my 69 chevy with a bench seat. Anyone done this and anything I should know? Thanks

just take the 2 middle bolts out and add the extra belts to them. Pretty easy but do. Lub those bolts a couple of days before u do it.

I lubed my bolts and they STILL wouldn't come out.

The middle belts went in when I put in shoulder belts. I bought some "load spreaders" (can't remember the name) from Juliano's to make sure the installation was safe. It was a piece of cake.

The suburbans came with the center belt already, they just used the same bolts as the "female" end of the lap belts that are in pickups. If you can find a wasted sub out there witha matching interior, you can snatch the belts for an original look.

It was my understanding all pickups came with 3 belts across. All the pickups I've have had 3 belts (all 69-72's). I assume the seat needs to be unbolted and moved forward to get to anchor bolts. There should be two inner anchor bolts one toward pasenger side for buckles for passenger and center person and the one closer to driver for drivers buckle and middle belt male insert.

I was just working on my seat belts the other day and I had a nut on the bottom side as a lock. I took that one off and the bolts came right out.
