I checked on Amazon and eBay and there are many lengths and brands, some just for golf carts. Can anyone tell me what worked for you, length and brand? My truck is a 51 Chevy 3600 and I am a thin guy. I would hate to buy the wrong size and have to send them back. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 2,307 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 2,307 | I used the rear seatbelts off of a chev caprice around 1988-90 fit good ,the centre belt is not retractable but adjusts and the passenger and drivers side retract . | | | | | Joined: Jul 2019 Posts: 559 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2019 Posts: 559 | There is a really good write up on here with tons of pics. I used the same belts as the guy in the write up and i am very happy with them. These trucks are kinda tricky to mount belts in with the stock seat frame. I couldn’t find the exact original write up but if you look at the 6th post down thats the one I’m talking about. They say “giggs” wrote it up. Good pics and process. Lap belt

I did the same as Phak. Just make sure that you have something backing up the bolt so the nut/bolt can’t pull through in an accident.
