Has anyone installed seat belts in a 41-46 Chevy 1/2 ton? If so was it fairly straight forward? If not what were the complications and how did you solve the problem? I know a lot of questions, but any information would be appreciated.

I put both 3 point harnesses and a 2 point harness in a 51. It was straight forward! What kind of belts are you using?

Chris I'm thinking about installing standard seat belts. I have not picked an option yet. Any recommendations?

2001 Silverado seats with integrated 3-point belts. I didn't want to mount anything on the pillars so these worked great! Nothing in the center.

I can’t remember the brand that I used. Which ever, ensure you put a plate on the opposite side of the floor or pillar so the bolt doesn’t pull through.

Everything is up to you. I used 3 point to keep from slamming my face into a metal dash. I also needed them so kids could ride with me.

Gents, I have a '40 Pickup which I'd like to fit seat belts to, but mine has an Australian cabin-they were the same from '39-46. The fuel tank is under the seat which may make it a bit more difficult.
Also, I would like to fit some sort of grab handle/strap above the passenger window for my wife to hang onto as she gets nervous without something to hang on to. Has anyone done anything like this?
Many thanks, Bob
