sorry, kind of off-topic, but... what's the shoulder belt mounted to? A factory brace? Or... something custom?

Looks AMAZING all 'round. Beautiful cabin!

The belts are mounted to a custom bracket we made and welded it in.

I can't really make out the pic (on my phone) but is that an additional section of metal attached to the cab body?
ie, my concern would be slamming the brakes,etc and pulling a dent into the cab sheetmetal..? Does that make sense? Looks beautiful, I'd like to put shoulders in mine when I get that far.

Yes, it's an additional section of metal welded to the top and bottom braces that extend out from the rear window to the door opening. We've established that the 48-50 cabs had two of these braces, while 51-52 cabs only had one brace.

Very nice headliner! Did you do it yourself? If so, beautiful work. What type of material?
Your truck looks great....very classy!

It looks great - I've been pondering the headliner project - I'm not sure I'm detailed or careful enough to get it to look nice like yours. I don't see any ductape on your's !

Mr. Black, you seem to be an expert on almost everything....perhaps you could post some pictures of YOUR work, so we can see how it should be done?

Excellent work on the headliner! The belts a nice addition too. Seen something like it in MF but it was pricey,I went with the seat with the integrated belts.
