Does anyone have photos of a stock 53-56 seat with a retractable seat belt unit at the floor?? I currently have my truck but not the seat and would like to install the seat belts over the weekend. I am using the chrome retracting lift lid sold by mid fifty. Wondering where it should go to not interfere with the seat movement and gas tank. Only using a lap belt; no shoulder. Thanks.

 

I know I should have thought about seat belts before. I had that dumb spit look when I went sit in the truck and reached for a belt and nothing. I am thinking lap belt system but how would I bolt them in? And is there a belt I should look at?
thanks

Jerry, here's what I did. I used a set of Hummer seat belts I found at https://www.sportsmansguide.com/. unfortunately they are out of stock.. they were too short for the truck and had to make an 'extension bar' to make them useful. Here's my article on the install, you might get some ideas from it.. Mid-50 sells the upper mounts..

Juliano's is another option and there are several vendors in the truck/car mags

My stock 56 M350 has the what I believe to be the factory or dealer installed option for that year lap belts they are mounted on eye bolts with a large heavy washer top and underneath I have not pictures of the set up. But I would go with the 3 point belts, the upper anchor point can be bolted in rather than welding if your truck is already in paint..
