Re: "Crewcab Jake" the 84 to 74 conversion

I have seen several posts recently asking wheres the best place to buy seatbelts. As much as I like to support the aftermarket vendors, theres not a good source out there for seatbelts.
Yes I know of a few that sell or restore OEM belts them but they are really expensive.

In my experience your best option is to restore OEM sets. It's not "cheap" but what value do you put on your families safety?

Follow along as I show how I do it. It's a three stage process but the end result is well worth the effort.

Let's start by examining the plastic covers and function of the retractors. If the plastic is damaged theres not practical way to repair them, so I locate replacements. Jake's belts had bad housings so I reached out to my buddy Donny Clark for a replacement set.
