One mal-whack is to paint the interior and then think about seat-belts. I have been looking and thinking about the Juliano 3-point belts for 4 or 5 years now. So last month I bought a set. I keep reading the directions and wondering if I really need to spot weld the two holes on the door post. Juliano's That would necessitate repainting the post and whatever else I gummed up. I assume the two 1/4 holes need securing to keep the plate from spinning. However I wonder if I could tap the holes and use a screw to hole the plate steady. I don't have the truck here right now but I wonder if there is enough room behind the post to fit a nut back there as well. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

On my '56 I welded a bar to the nut and poked it up in the hole. You might be able to do that on the AD to hold it while you tighten the bolt.

I'm not acquainted with the set up on a pickup, but, I did weld in the plate.
I'm covering that area around the plate with upholstery (headliner) material anyway, so, I'm happy with the installation.
Juliano's stuff is great and I've but in several sets of harnesses and belts over the years

You can't go wrong with their directions either! Les | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 | To late for me.
