Thanks Paul, that helps. Do you or anyone have

any pics of shoulder belts in an assembled car? How they are around the seats etc?

My 1967 comes out of winter hibernation on Friday. I will be installing the shoulder belts on the weekend and will get back with a pic next week.

Bill,
My 1967 came from the factory with the brackets so I just have to cut the carpet and install the Allen head screws with metal belt end and pouch. The pics I posted earlier were from someone else's body off.

So I understand it,Noland says shoulder belts (or the bracket) may have appeared as early as 11,000,shoulder belts themselves "not before"15,000 (as an option I'm assuming)and more than likely after 17,000+or-.

So it seems that when GM started installing these brackets on all cars is when people started ordering it as an option (all 37 of them!)It seems that only documentation will confirm an authentic shoulder belt optioned car.What other way would there be?.
