Seat belts: what GM cars w/ shoulder harness?
 
The wife says if I'm gonna be knot-headed and use my '72 Suburban as a daily driver, that I'm gonna have to get some shoulder belts so she can quit worrying about the kids...admittedly, she's got a point.

You could get the 3-point type shoulder harness on the '67-'72 trucks/burbs, but it's a super, super rare deal...so are there any other GM rides I can steal some belts out of? Most guys use a set out of the S-10, but they don't look anything like the originals, which is kinda what I'm shooting for...the shoulder harness type like in our '69 Camaro would work I reckon, but since it's a totally seperate belt & buckle there's gonna be double the parts...any ideas? I love the look of the old big buckle belts like are in the 'burb now, any chance there's something relatively *close* in another model line? A half-way close color match would be ICING... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

It's kind of a trial and error thing unless you can find someone that has done the install. Our son ended up with a colostomy bag on his side for a summer resulting from a lap belt rupturing his intestines. In the front seat, with shoulder belts, the driver had some rash and was back to work the next day. There was a TV show showing the results of several accidents. The kids in the back seat, with seat belts only, had their backs broken and were paralyzed. The adults in the front, with shoulder belts, were fine. You have a smart wife. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Hey Rob,

May not be the answer for you, but it is an option.. Wesco performance
