Best solution I could come up with - mounting mid 2000's Yukon Denali 3rd row seats. They have 3-point belts built in.

I used 3/16" x 8" x width of floor plates under the 2 rows of mounting points -

Works like a charm, have 3 seats in the row and has the legal requirement for seat belts.

Suburban 3rd rows might be a bit cheaper, they aren't split like the Denali / Escalade (and maybe Tahoe?) 3rd rows
Nice build there. After looking threw the owners manual the top in the last 2 years where not meant to come off. I'm going to take my legal chances with lap belts only. that's all they had for the middle passenger.

Also be careful with any wheels spacers you use, My 75 pickup had 5 to 6 lug spacers on it, and a rear wheel broke off hours before i bought it.
