Hey folks, I have searched and searched and tried to find pictures but have some questions.

this car originally had a bench seat so I know the rear belts are right and they were still in the car.
The fronts were in a box. Is there a difference in the belts?

anyone have an pics? I really am not trying a bigtime resto, but do want it somewhat correct.

The other things is the shoulder belts. how do those go in the car? one bolt and then folded behind those plastic holders? any pics?

speaking of those plastic holders, I have all four metal pieces and they look different in color. Are those interchangeable or do they a specific home? same with the plastic covers.

thanks all

So did you switch to buckets? I have mine out of the car. My shoulder belts are still in. If you can wait till the weekend, I can try and grab some pics....

Thanks and that would be great. My father switched to buckets probably 25 years ago, but I think the whole belt setup is still from the bench seats.

take care

The lap belts are different between bench and buckets. On the bench, the outer rubberized casing that comes thru the seat is twisted while for buckets it is straight and flat and almost lays flat against the floor center hump. The shoulder belts are the same for both seats.

Kinda hard to see, but notice the tip of the belt on white bench is twisted just below the button where as on the black buckets it is straight.

Ok, starting to make sense. Thanks for the pics.
