Safety First
Although I plan on keeping my truck as close to original as possible, safety is somewhat of a priority. And If I ever want to take my kids for a ride in 'Rojo' seatbelts will be a requirement. Safety is a priority but aesthetics and ease of installation also comes into play. I've decided on 2 point retractible lap belts from Julianos. Take a look.
...Continued.....I now have seat belts and can't wait to take Andrew (age 5) and Michael (age 4) for a cruise in ol' red.
