Since I can't wrench on my truck at the moment, I decided to start trying to put together some interior pieces. Started with the seta belts. I am a big fan of the pre 73' seat belts. The seat belts retractors from a 69-72 truck, are more visually appealing to me as well as the clamshell style buckles. Picked up a complete set out of a 70' C10 for $ 15 buckles although the wrong color.

Took them apart. A hit the sink for a little clean up time. I think I am going to try and use the buckles of a 67' truck for the aircraft style latch and the Chevy Bowtie cast into the buckle itself. I may be dyeing the belts black to save some search time.
