It is a smooth, safe, and very quiet ride.

The two-seater front has not yet been set up with seat belts.
The front “jump seat” might never be equipped with a seat belt?
Does anyone have a first-hand recommendation for a seat belt
assembly for the front "jump seat" in a Suburban Carryall?
Thanks

40 years ago I sold my
53 3100 5-Window Classic (second one I owned)
and bought a 1953 3100 Suburban.
The truck was to die for !


Without going into all the details..
My Suburban had no seat belts and I just drilled some holes and used bolts
and large washers to place the three front seat belts . " Lap Restraints" not
shoulder straps etc. Never placed "seat belt retractors " Never owned a new vehicle
and drove 1953 3100's ( several ) for over 50 plus years. My Suburban needs work..
If You could have seen her in 1980 -- Woo Woo-- LOL.
I gave the second and third seats to a friend in Oregon
who was restoring another "burb"

Just had the original seats recovered.
Same seat belts I placed in the front 40 years ago

I used the Suburban for
work ( carpenter ) and still do after
retirement -- but often wished it was the -- long bed -
