Here is my problem. Quite a few three point setups that I have driven with will lockup when going over a good bump. Mostly this isn't a problem but in my 1 Ton, if this happened in an emergency while trying to access the handbrake, I would be out of luck. What do you think about this dilemma? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 4,095 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 4,095 | think back to how many times this has been necessary and then decide. iam putting in seats with built in three point because i think it is very good thing.

If not, you could find yourself a couple of front bucket seats out of a 1999 and up Serria/Silverado. Both of these have the seat belts as part of the seat. This way you don't have to worry about fabing up upper belt mounting points in you cab. Plus the have better lumbar support than your old bench probably has. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | Nthstr,
I am keeping it stock but if I were to change the seats, it would definitely be for the lumbar support. Thanks for that suggestion. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 1,028 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 1,028 | 3 point is the way to go. You wont look pretty with that steering column impression in your chest. | | |
