None of us wants to think about the unthinkable, however when putting these things in your car, you have to think about the unthinkable. Theres not enough metal forward of the anchor point to absorb the load on an impact. No structural changes were made in this area except the addition of the anchor point about where the coat hook hole is on the 67.Īttaching the upper anchor point at the top of the quarter panel edge inner structure like that is a serious weak point. I have a 69 notchback and a 67 notchback. The reason I am going with the route I am going is the anchor point in the roof is solid and a proven attaching point with a lot of surface area forward and aft of the anchor point to absorb pulling force on impact which is why Chrysler used it in 1968/1969. I'm using aftermarket belt like your picture and I like them for the wife's ride. There should be stock belt available to you for any year 68 and after. It is a separate belt and mounts at the roof line and is tucked/held up with clips. At least in the 68 Super Bee and the 70 Duster that I have here. I also know that Mopar had a weird way of dealing with the shoulder belts. They work great, except they are a little catchy when you first pull them out each time. They mount at the B pillar about halfway (which you don't have) up at the stock location. Nope, she has shoulder belts and headrests for safety now exactly like the setup you have pictured. I thought I was going to need to do a bunch of retro fitting for her 67 El Camino. In 67 GM actually had put in the mounts for both the shoulder belt and the headrests. I believe (don't quote me) that new federal guidelines were going to require head rests (maybe 69) and shoulder belts in the 1968 model year. It seems that some car companies knew that safety changes were coming.
