Default Re: Seat Belt Mounting Sites '63 Suburban

Turns out it is a rubber grommet in the earlier post, protecting a threaded hole that is bolt-ready for seatbelts. Seems to be a 7/16' 20tpi. The pics show views from above and below.

Also pictured is the doorpost; I removed the screws fastening it down and think i'll have just enough room to slip in a backing plate for a 3-point restraint. The front of the door pillar panel is firmly cemented in at the factory, and I don't want to distort the panel too much. I also think I can do the same for the outside seats in the back row, using the rear panel. I realize not that many people would go the 3-point route, but I'm kinda a safety nut, and expect to be hauling grandkids.
