Looks like fun. Glad my truck was rust-free.

Thanks for posting a pic of the profile of the truck. I have a '67 with the same wheels and similar tires and have been debating whether to pull them off and put them on my new-to-me '66. Made it much easier to decide than doing the swap!

Did some test fitting on seats with the ranger brackets. So i test fitted some 11 Mustang seats and 01 Mustang seats. These have been modified and fitted with 67 Brackets which was very easy and then mounted to the Ranger Brackets.

I ended up putting the 01 seats as they are a little lower and gave a very comfy fit. Plus the 11 seats are for my 67 mustang

Started on the 3 point seatbelt install. I welded the nuts to a Bushing Washer i had left over from my 78 GMC I gave my mother. They were nice and thick and about an 1.5. So to me it was perfect for a backing plate to make sure everything is re-enforced. I thought about welding it in but it would be too much of a hassle so Tuesday i ordered a riveter kit thinking it would be here. It wont show up til Friday.. ERG..

So yeah, I drilled a hole, got the backing plated bolted in, drilled 2 holes for rivets and that's where it is.

got the backing plates riveted in and installed my 3 point seat belts. Still needs work, the connectors are too long and need to moved and i need to make another mounting point for the lap belt section. It fits pretty well otherwise though
