I want to add seat belts to my truck. I have the cab out so I figured it would be a good time to install them. Looking for suggestions on how to mount them
Thanks,

Re: Seat belt install
Cabell Garbee's sight has a good reference on seat belts:

Re: Seat belt install
Hi Gerry,
When I asked if seat belts came in M37 the prevailing answer was no, they never came with them. Then someone who was in the Air Force mentioned that the AF installed seat belts before they sold them to the public. My M37 has AF installed seat belts. I checked with the previous owner and he checked with the original owner and turns out the seat belts were in it when it was sold by the military. I don't know how to post pics here, just to the gallery, but if you send me your email address (mine is w30bob@verizon.net) I can send you pics of how they were installed in my truck. Basically on the passenger side the belts were attached to the two bolts that secure the lower part of the rear cushion to the back of the cab, and on the driver side there are two holes with captive nuts at the back of the floor under the seat that the belts bolt to. Looks good and makes sense. Just let me know if you need more info.
regards,
bob
