Aftermarket Seatbelts for a '67 Skylark?

[USAFA Corey]

I'm relatively new to the board, i just purchased my first buick about a week ago. Its a 67 Skylark, with GS hood and grille. As far as interior goes, its got buckets, i assume they're original, but i really dont know. The interior is a little rough, and needs some fixin up, but not to bad. Anyways, on to my question. I go to the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, but I (and my car) live in St. Pteresburg Florida. The plan is to drive her out to Colorado either come next spring or summer break. The only problem is Momma refuses to let me drive the car cross country unless I gets some seat belts in her. Any clue where I can get some aftermarket ones, or stock ones, or whatever i need? or what exactly is involved with installing them? I'm pretty much clueles here, im an engine guy, i know my stuff there, but interior... im cluless. Thanks for all teh help

Hello. The Skylark comes with the bolts for the seat belts welded to the floor pan support, so installing new belts will only involve locating the holes (this can be done with a long needle from under the car; just poke it up through the carpet and mark the hole on the top side) and bolting in the new belts. There are several web sites that handle seat belts. Just be sure that they are government approved before making your purchase. They should be about $20.00 per set for lap belts. (Lap belts are all that is required for your year.) Let me know if you have additional questions about your upholstery.
Best Regards,

If the floorplans had been replaced sometime during the life of the car, would they also have the mounting areas? The gentleman i bought it from said he ahd replaced the floorpans a few yars back. Thanks again!

Hello Corey.
Without looking underneath, there is no way to tell if the mounting nuts are there. These were originally welded to the cross braces, so if just the floor pans had been replaced, they should be there. If the cross braces have also been replaced, you will need to look under the car to see if the nuts are still welded there. Take a look underneath and let me know what you find.
Best Regards,
Ron
