Thanks for the reply! Ironically here in rule heavy CA, we have absolutely NO safety inspections or safety regulations on registration for older cars/trucks. Simply amazing. They regulate and TAX the F out of us. All they care about is paying them! I can drive any rust riddled crumbling seatbeltless old hulk, but if it's '75 or newer that damn smog crap better be working. Morons.
I found that Wesco Performance has a solution if you weld in a support plate to the "B" piller just behind the door below the window opening. I just want to confirm that this will be safe enough. I've heard a varing opinion about the seat back. If you are in a secured 3 point over the shoulder belt, how could the seat move forward? The belt is holding you firmly back in tension...if you don't have the retractables that is. I want to warn people to NOT USE the clamshell style (https://www.wescoperformance.com/ll60.htm) belt they show!View attachment 1715201030
Sadly, my 1962 VW double cab had those as original or retrofit lap belts and my wife was hit hard in an intersection and those came unclasped resulting in her being ejected from the truck. Quadriplegia is, to put it mildly, a life changer for everyone involved. This is why I'm being so picky about this installation. This is my son Joe's car just so you understand.View attachment 1715201029
Most likely your solution was safer than the factory anchors. Well done! Again, thanks for the comments.
