Title: Seat belt mounts
Post by: Frankenstein57 on 2010-04-05 16:38
On my 58 Ranchero, I'm finishing up the interior. I don't see any mounts for seat belts, Looks like the outside belt could share a bolt with the rear seat mount. Maybe this car never had belts. I'm thinking about welding a large washer or plate with a nut welded on it, to the driveshaft tunnel sides. Unless someone has a better idea. thanks, Mark

I haven't done mine yet, but If you can run a bolt thru a floor support, that might luckily be in the right area, I't be a lot safer in the event you actually need it. rich

Seat belts were a dealer installed option, all they did was drill a hole where they thought they should go and put a big washer under the floor and one on top of the floor and tighten everything down. The floor if not rusted is strong enough to hold everything in the event of a collision.
