Gustav, 1963 VW Double Cab Truck
Rear Seat Belts
Since the truck is going to haul the family & friends I wanted to have a full set of seat belts. I'd already installed the two front belts in 2015. So in the summer of 2019 when the truck finally got on the road, it was time to install the rear set.
Wolfsburg West supplied the silver belts with a black metal buckle, just like when they were new. The width of the rear seat has enough room for three adults, so three belts were fitted.
Drilled holes into the metal supporting bracket that goes horizontally across the rear seat frame. Large metal washers were used to prevent anything from coming lose in an accident.
The whole process took about 30 minutes from start to finish.
Gotta have a plan
Adding large bolts
Large washers for support
Overlapping belt mounts
