I was wondering if there is any information on installing the 3 point seat belts on a '66 fleetside.
The sellers informtaion is very sketchy for that year.
Do I have to weld something for the shoulder part? I know it is double walled so it won't show on the outside, but I don't know what to do on the inside for this.
The floor parts are easy but not up on the cab.
Unfortunately, I have finished the truck before I thought about this all important safety matter.
Any help or websites is appreciated

I don't know how much help it will be on a '66 but here's how I did my '56. It might give you some ideas.

If I recall from my reading about these old trucks, the original 3 point factory belts had two buckles. The shoulder strap did not retract, I do not believe. The shoulder and lap belt each had a buckle.



some aftermarket options:

on my '65 c10, I used a 3 point kit from Juliano's for the bench seat:

I have read about other folks using a kit from this place with good results:
