Shoulder belts in a Blazer? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Can three point seat belts like those from Juliano's or a set of NOS ones be added to a 69-72 Blazer? I wonder because the B-pillar is part of the hard top. Could it be done if the hardtop were never removed? Thanks.

Most people ive heard, talk about the new chev seats with the seatbelts built in. I dont think the fiberglass would be strong enough.

I wouldn't attach it to the fiberglass top. Just watched a roll over video of a 73-to around 75 blazer (not a halfcab version) and it's top disintegrated - not what you want to have happen to one of your seatbelt attachment points!

Ok, thanks for the info guys. Lap belts should be fine.

I put a roll cage in mine.Attatched the belts to the bar.I put an 8 point cage in.An added benifit is it keeps the body from flexing with the top off.
