I used Juliano's 3-point belts in my '58 Fleetside with large rear window.
I am very impressed with the weight (strength) of the components.
I did cut a section out of the post, trimmed the mounting plate from the
belt kit and welded it in place. I think it is the only way to get a very
secure shoulder point installed. The other two points are bolted through
the floor into the very large and heavy plates supplied. I shaped a piece
of 1/4" steel to fill in a space under the door side of the belt in order to
get a good flush to the floor fit for the Juliano plate.
I hope this helps.
