I’d like to add rear seat belts to my 65 Valiant but there’s nothing there currently. Does anyone have locations for the seatbelts? What did you do to add/install them?

My 65 Valiant wagon has loops to mount, presumably from factory. Looks like yours are missing or were removed. I put picture of driver side rear. See yellow arrows on pic. I think it didn't come w/ rear belts originally (not 100% on this), but just the mounts. Funny, I was just getting ready to install belts this weekend. Ace Hardware here in town carries the 7/16 fine thread grade 8 nuts, bolts and washers.

This is a '65 Barracuda, but that should be the same. In the center there actually were holes already with a plugs in them. I had to drill the outer ones. Make sure you don't drill through the brake line - it's in that area on the driver side.

I've seen cars without seatbelts and there were dimples. Had to drill holes and putting a backing plate/nut.

My 62 Valiant had seatbelts in the front with those loops, backing plate/nuts behind them, but they were directly behind the seats on the floor.
Right where rear passengers would put their feet.
Seatbelts were also clearly not factory.

I think you're going to have to wing it.
