I will have to take some pictures and post them. It may take a week or so, because I have to go to Walmart and print the pictures, then scan and post them.

Let's Clear up the confusion.
'77 Shoulder belts were standard.
'76-Down they were an option.
I actually prefer lap belts myself, My '76 Has lapbelts and their cool!

The optional shoulder belt was similar to the shoulder belts that came in Mustangs and Fairlanes from 68 on. They are not retracting.

1974 f100 seatbelt

Any chance you recall the part number for the anchor plates?

My Dads 79 has this set up. It didn't look like an easy add on for my 74 F100. Plus I want to keep my truck close to stock. My 74 just came with the lap belts. They are the old style seat belts Ford was using in the 60s. My 74 owner's manual shows optional shoulder belts. They are non retracting, you just fold they and plug they into a boot at the top when not in use. They use the same type of buckels as the lap belts. I just installed them today in my truck and I used the picture in the owner's manual as my location guide. I'm happy with them. I bought the shoulder belts on ebay and bought new anchor plates from National Parts Depot. Thanks for the help.
