Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?
I am going to add to the seat belt thread so it might give people ideas. I installed three point belts to my (now) bucket seat Suburban. I found it necessary for comfort to move the receptacles forward so I added aftermarket reinforcement plates. For the retractors I mounted them in a similar position to newer model trucks. I tacked the same reinforcement plates in the B pillar and used OE plastic plugs. I still need one for the drivers side. I might try to form some metal covers to hide the ugly retractors.
They came out very comfortable to wear.

Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?
Tear downs are easy. I gotta hope I remember how to put it all back together again. Lol

Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?
Today, I was "gifted" the final piece of my interior puzzle by new member "gratefuldog". I drove about a hour to meet Pete at his work, where he gave me an original front bench seat from his '71 GMC Suburban! Sure...it had been "customized" a little by his dog...but it is the perfect candidate to get reupholstered at the same time as my center and rear seats! Thanks again, Pete...it was a pleasure to meet you!

I guess when my upholsterer disassembled/reassembled my seats, the clearance I had before is now somewhat less? The retractors would not fit back on the top seat bracket bolt without binding, so I had to use the nifty "L" brackets supplied by the seatbelt vendor. With a little black paint, it looks and fits fine...just not as simple and clean as when installed up higher, although this way, I was able to angle the retractor slightly so the belt doesn't rub against the guide like it did when it was more vertical...so that's a plus!

Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?
All I did today was pull the 72 out of my new toy box to install a 2-post lift tomorrow. I hope to get it back on the road by early summer, it has been 5 years since I took it for a ride.

Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?
I’m sure It will get used often and I will love it. I retired last week so I’m going to have plenty of time to put it to work and get the 72 back on the road.
