Did you get the black ones?

That's probably what I'll end up doing.

Yes the black ones. That way if I change the truck interior color they will still look right :thup:

Well the 3 point seat belts off E-Bay from Welder Joe's did not work out for the 68. The retractable mechanism had to be mounted at a 90 which doesn't work for my application. when mounted, as I need, it stays in the locked position.
Guess I will ship them back and try another. Thinking on just getting a new custom seat with integrated belts.

I followed Robroy to the T with his belt install.

I was just a little frustrated. I will use the proper L brackets so the belts will mount properly :thup: Just needed to step back and do another project then come back to the belts. :lol:

:yt:
I also did my install the same way as Robroy... I bought my belts through Seatbeltsplus.com including the extra mounting hardware and installing them in my 72 was a breeze. I will be using the same belts and another set of 3 for the crew cab.

If you just need the brackets, I believe Seatbeltsplus.com has a bag of mounting hardware that you can buy for like $5.
It should have everything you need to get your belts installed: http://www.seatbeltsplus.com/product/FHD-1046-1.html

They also have other kits, and just the L bracket if that is all you need: http://www.seatbeltsplus.com/category/S ... sions.html
