I put the new bench seat in that I got from a user on here. I put the belts in too and all is great but I'm a little confused as there was like 3 different bolt sizes for the belts. What length bolt shank goes to want part of the belt? There's ones for the outer side retracting belts the middle buckles and middle belt and shoulder straps.
 
Only long enough so the belt can move when tight except for the retractors at the corners of the rear seat. They need to be tight because they rattle without carpet under them.
 
Pretty sure on my 75 the longest pair of bolts was for the center belts. Because the holes are recessed a little into the hump.
 
Yes they are. Here are the three different sizes. Some of the later models have Torx head I don.t believe the corner seat belts on 72 -76 Have a shoulder I am not sure. Maybe someone else can offer that info.

Most all of my parts are 70-72. The longer bolts go on the hump and under the seat when the get two belts for the center passenger. Medium on the outside and on the hump for buckets seat cars. Short are for the shoulder harness.

I just stripped a 75 some of them were torx. I remember sending Dave in for a socket. Usually they are a 13/16 head. 1/2 20 thread on early cars 72 to 76 have retractors at the corners of the rear seat.
