Original shoulder straps

Greetings everyone.

I've been scratching around the 'net looking for original shoulder straps (that were optional) for 72 F100s. If they are out there they are eluding both me and Google

Any hints or leads?

Thanks in advance.

You will need the lap seat belts that were made expressly for the optional separate shoulder straps. Your present lap seat belts will not work.

Cab corners have plugs that once removed, exposes the female threads that the separate shoulder straps bolt to.

With shoulder straps: The R/L lap seat belts have two buckles, one for the tongue of the lap belt, one for the tongue of the shoulder strap.

1967: The shoulder straps were only available with their specific lap belts.

1968/72 (1973/76): The shoulder straps were available separately, their specific lap belts were available separately.

1977 was the first year that the shoulder/lap belt was a one piece assembly.
