Re: Retro fitment of modern seat belts to our cabs
I installed two 3-point (driver,passenger) and one lap belt (center) in my '63 and they work great. I don't have any pictures of them installed unfortunately and everything is torn back apart now. I did not weld them as the kit I bought is bolt in with proper backing plates. My belts were ordered from Julianos. They have a ton of colors and options.
Edit: I used the 90 degree bracket for the driver side, but I had to order a 60 degree bracket from Jegs for the passenger side floor mount. |

If it I still a problem, for them to post to the USA, I could beep by being a UK delivery address. Ebay link https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RED-Unive...19.m1438.l2649 |

I used belts from https://www.seatbeltplanet.com/ when I had my '65 Nova. They were really knowledgeable, and very easy to deal with. There wasn't a specific kit available for that car, so I just gave them a call, and they took care of everything. The price was pretty reasonable too.

I got as far as drilling the holes and installing the nuts up in the cab corners. Then I decided the seat had to go and the replacement had the built in belts.
