Seat Belt & Shoulder Harness for 54 F100
Hey guys hoping you can shed some light on this. My 54 F100 has 3 point seat belts but they dont fit well, on there when i got the truck . 2 things.
At bottom the retractable mechanism is mounted so that when you pull the belt out, the belt pulls against the bench seat stopper bolt mounted right next to it. This makes the belt not retract well.
Also at the top where the shoulder harness bolts to the cable. It cannot be flat because when you pull the belt it is too close and hits the frame of the door. It seems like it needs to be on a 30-40 degree bent angle to get it away from door frame.
I am looking to just replace both of them with new preferably a ford product but universal is fine too. Any thoughts where where and what to buy?
Appreciate your time.
Thanks
