I put lapbelts in my 54 2-ton more to stay on seat over trax and big bumps
than to save me! I went to floor in center behind seat and between seat
cushions, used a big washer/plate thing on underside. ON outside of seat, I
put the self-retracting gadget on the bottom rear corner of the seat sides.
The metal wrapping around the supports on floor. It's not the toughest, but
been working good for couple years. It coils up good, and easy to reach for
w/out looking. These are just rear seat belts from an old Ford Ltd or
something. I have no center belt, too small of cab for three people and
shifter there hits knees if try to sit there!

Subject: [oletrucks] 3 point Seat belts
Has anyone installed a new style seat with shoulder belts as part of the
seat?
If so do you need to re-enforce the floor? I was thinking that in the event
of an accident there would be a lot of force placed on the seat where it
mounts to the floor, and therefore would require re-enforcement.
I am at the point where I must decide which way I want to go, either have
the third points welded in before the cab is painted, or install a seat
complete with seat belts.
