seatbelts
I have a 1979 crewcab and need to install seat-belts. can anyone tell me if I can purchase the three point seat-belts from lmc and install them in the second row of seats? If not what have you done to rectify this problem, Thanks.

If you get the 3 point and the retractor goes inside the B pillar (like a regular cab truck) that might be a PITA. So get the retractors that are floor mounted like in a 79 Super Cab and then all you have to do it mount the metal shoulder loop (2nd point) on the inside of the far back "B" pillar.

I opted for retrofit seatbelts from Wesco Performance. It includes all the hardware and instructions needed to retrofit shoulder belts.
Passenger Car Replacement Seat Belts
I did not cut an access panel, just tied some small gauge electrical wire to one of the mounting holes and dropped the backing plate from the top. Once I got the other mounting bolt started clipped the wire and finished the install.

I went with Wesco 3 point belts also.

You can see how close the retractor and the free end of the loop mount to each other, I don't know if there is enough room next to the rear seat to fit them in.
