For rear shoulder belts you will need to fabricate a "family" roll bar.

Understood. I was referring to the one that most people had as the factory one. My mistake. I think it was made by Hickey or something.

I have some seats that I pulled from the yard. They colapse down quite nicely. They are the 2nd and third row seats from a mercedes r350 Suv. I planned to metal shape a roll bar using my acquired shaping talents that looks like this later model custom Blazer. I am not concerned with roll over protection that much but i am very much doing it to be able to install proper shoulder belts for the safety of my family. I want front and rear shoulder belts. My plan it to make a buck out of plywood and then form the metal using the buck. Here is that custom Blazer that I loved. I would make a front and back with tie in bars. I do not have a tubing bender but I do have metal shaping tools to do this type of roll bar.
