Hey guys, I ordered the 3 point seatbelt from chevy duty, they came with all the hardware and the good stuff. But no instructions, well it came with a little yellow tag but I would have been better off without any at all . Has anyone ordered these seatbelts for themselve, cuz I would like to keep myself inside the cab not thru the windsheild in case of an accident. :7 Please send pics if you can.
Hey, Just got through installing the bits and pieces for 3-points for my 65. I'll take pictures tonight and get them to you in the next day or so. The seats are out so you can see where i put the mounting holes, etc. Not sure if they're exactly the same as the Chevy Duty belts, but it might help. Brent
hey thanks bk65 take as many pictures as possible I will greatly appreciate any help from you or anyone else here.Im sure that their isnt going to be a major difference in seatbelt design.And also where did you get yours? Thanks Biggy
Biggy, I updated my photos at http://community.webshots.com/user/65k10 It's in the seat belts photo album. Hope the pictures help. I'm no engineer so I can't vouch for the safety of what I did. I'm afraid my instructions that I received weren't all that clear either. Several of the holes were clearly 1/2 inch but 7/16 bolts were provided. I used 1/2 inch Grade 8 bolts and lock nuts wherever it seemed like a better fit. I did use Grade 8 hardware throughout and all backing plates were welded in. One piece of advice I can give is that when you drill large holes (half inch or so) in the floor or cab corner, use a unibit or step bit. It's a bit that starts out at 1/8 inch and keeps getting progressivly bigger. Makes nice clean holes. I got my belts at Julians.com because I needed stiff arms to keep the buckle up by my bucket seats. Chevy Duty may have those kind now. Good luck!
