I got mine from GEM streetrod parts. They appear to be good quality and reasonable price. I took two pieces of 1"x 1/4" flat stock and bent them to match the curve in corner, welded them together, drilled a hole where I wanted the top harness connected and welded a nut in the hole for the belt bolt. I then drilled 3 holes in the corner and one for the harness bolt, slid the bracket down behind the corner and welded it in place. I have pics if this doesn't make any sense.

shoulder harness

Why not look to using some later model truck seats that had it incorporated in already. Think some of the dodges, and chevy's had this setup.

Lightning5,
I will try and get those pics for you on Tuesday evening. I need to trailer my truck over to the upholsterer and if I get home in time, Iwill get them to you.
