Very nice install- They are important in that vehicle because of no airbags and no crumple zone. The crumple zone on that truck is the other car! LOL Great stuff...
Very close colour match.....your belts are well installed and I would say even safer than the manufacturer. Top notch job on the little truck......CHEERS
I think the match is great. I like the way you installed the belts.... I'v been thinking of installing lap belts in the Bel Air for the past few years. Everyone around here drives like "me me me first"! It makes me nervous, plus NO ONE wants to be "stuck" behind an old car, so they do what they can to get in front. I drive my old cars like I am invisible. I figure everyone is going to pull out in front of me.....
Perfect timing my friend. My project should have seat belts as well. Especially since young ladies will be driving the truck someday. This video has given me confidence I can tackle this job if it comes up.
Good stuff - the color is great, and the mounting brackets are going to definitely do the job! Sorry I took a few days to add a comment, my wife and I have moved to Minnesota and it has been pretty crazy for a couple of weeks!
Nice job installing the seat belts, and I like the color as it matches the interior well. I've learned a lot watching you restore this truck, and I appreciate all you do to help watchers to try to do this work on our own vehicles. Have a great weekend RK !
We always had seat belts in our cars. Even the 40s and 50’s cars. My uncle was a pilot and flat demanded we have aircraft seatbelts in our cars. He would bring them over and install them. Color matched when he could. Most were tan. Exactly like the ones you are using! Lap belts only. Just as in aircraft. The forces in a wreck are unreal. I put racing harnesses in my old short track cars. As the belts were short I bolted to the floor with 2 ton chains. A guy told me to go bigger. Gee two ton, screw that I’m fine. Soooo slammed into the wall at about 50. 50 isn’t all that fast. But fast enough I guess. Anyway when I came to my senses I unbuckled and found myself holding one of the belts. Chain broke. The other stretched. I couldn’t believe I broke a two ton chain with my body. But I’m just short of 300 pounds. Back then about 280? Anyway about 7G to break the chain. 7G in a wreck is nothing. Good hell the forces.
My 1st car is a 67 Mustang, no seatbelts. Still have the car. My mantra was just don't wreck it. I never did. Put seatbelts in it now? Hell no. Just don't wreck it!

Geez RK this truck is getting so fancy I will have to take off my shoes to get a ride , LOL !
Good stuff - the color is great, and the mounting brackets are going to definitely do the job! Sorry I took a few days to add a comment, my wife and I have moved to Minnesota and it has been pretty crazy for a couple of weeks!
Glad to hear you made it there safely and are starting to settle in!!☻
Great video very informative and to the point thank you 👍
Make sure you use hardened bolts. Regular bolts could shear off in an accident.

I only know too well. Crushed my left foot on Thanksgiving Day riding my KLR650. Doing better now, yes, riding again. Same bike.
