The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '60-'66 Trucks Seat Belts?

I tried the search option,but come up
with posts about seats,etc.So here goes....
I have a '60 Apache C30 with no seat
belts.What are my options?2 point,or 3- point? Where to drill mounting holes?
I can't take our 5 year old Grand-
daughter in the truck.

i installed a latter lap belt for my wife on the pass side. i used the seat brackets i made to save drilling any holes or running bolts thru cab. i'm sure shoulder belt is much better, but i don't know how other folks are doing that. good luck

I used retractable lap type belts in my '65 but 3-point style are available.

Here are some links for you:

Not really sure if you want to change seats, but I have a 63 1/2 ton and i installed bucket seats from a 2003 Chevy truck. The seats have the retractable shoulder strap and the female end built into the seat. The seats I found were in excellent condition. The seller wanted 300 but I talked him down to 200. The seats fit really good but I had to make a bracket for the center portion of the seat because the hump is different. The center portion also has seat belts. I think the bench style seats in newer trucks are the same way.

I installed 3 point lap and shoulder belts in my 65, aftermarket from;

They were inexpensive and very easy to install.

How did you anchor it?-Especially the shoulder belt anchor?

I'm using simple latch style lap belts.
