I've been itching to drive my '59 Apache more than a few times a month, but my wife absolutely will NOT let me take our 5 y/o daughter with me because the truck has no shoulder belts, only lap belts, so... Has anyone installed shoulder belts in their TF pickup, and if so, where did you get them, what kind are they, etc. I wouldn't mind having shoulder belts myself, but they're not a deal breaker. I'd appreciate any help/info. Thanks... Chris

Kicking self for selling off my Taskforce trucks. Still looking for an LCF or conventional big bolt in decent shape. As of 10-26-2022, A 55.2 Taskforce long bed now the work begins
