I'd also recommend http://www.julianos.com/ for the belts. several color choices available. if you can make your own anchor braces they're about $65-70. ea. you can buy two different types, bucket and bench seating models. you could probably make you own anchors as theirs didn't look any more special/ or made to fit an AD /TD . the top anchor is placed after drilling a hole pretty high up and away from the corner glass area. remove the overhead backing cardboard panel and fab up a plate w/ a 7/16'' nut welded to it. seatbelt anchor bolts are usually 7/16''. this will slip down the front side of the corner window (if'n you got one) and behind the door upright. I used a long string so I wouldn't lose it down the inside panel. screw in your belt bolt w/ a dab of 242 locktight and your set. the roll up belt fits neetly inside that angled brace in the pocket of the trucks cab. install an external plate under the cab floor.
