Rob, did you have the seats redone by an upholstery shop, or did you refoam and cover yourself.....

The foam was good. I bought the covers (PUI) from boardmember DPASSMORE and had them installed by my upholstery guy.

Rob did you use the retractable ones? If so, does the retractable part fit in ok?

They are retractable and fit really well. The drivers side bracket is set up to move it away from the gas tank. My tank is in the rear so I'll, probably just modify that bracket to move it back like the passenger one.

So Rob...these were just a straight bolt in....no fabbing like some other universal belts I've seen or heard about??

Exactly! 8 bolts and about 30 minutes to install.

I think these may have come from Autoloc, but I'm not sure. They have a picture of a globe in the release button.

Here's some instructions for the Juliano seatbelts in our trucks:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 
I want more room in the bed, so I'm putting the tank underneath.

Subscribed. I really like this truck Rob... Hell I like all of them!

Oh, I like the Welds on it but the rally sleeper look good too.
