Need Help: Rear Shoulder Seat Belt Conversion

[747mopar]

I used new Dodge Dart shoulder belts in mine. I just wended pockets into the package tray to mount them in then welded a thick strap tapped for the bolts to the bottom and tied them into the inner fender to trunk support. For the receiver end you need ones out of the rear seats of a new Ram (long enough to reach from the floor threw the seat).

There is not much to it. Pretty rare option. I have only seen 2 original 69 B body cars with it in all my years.

The following pics are from a thread I found discussing this on another forum. http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,91846.0.html

They bolted the seat belt retractor (I don't know the name) to the underside of the shelf. It also looks like they had a factory opening for the belt to slide through.

OK, more info. I think what is needed is an "Under Parcel Tray seat belt". You have to get a retractor that is meant for the specific mounting application. The locking mechanisms only work in certain angles, so one designed to be a vertical mount wont lock up when mounted any other way.

Unfortunately, the only under parcel tray seat belt I and finding are in Australia.
